The Senseca Aeolus WUS30F is a 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer for wind measurement and monitoring, designed for applications that require reliable data in harsh outdoor conditions with minimal maintenance.

The instrument measures wind speed from 0 to 85 m/s, azimuth from 0 to 360°, and elevation angle of ±60°. In addition to overall wind speed and direction, the anemometer provides U-V-W Cartesian components, Wind Gust values, as well as sonic temperature, barometric pressure, and tilt angles.

The measuring principle uses three pairs of ultrasonic transducers arranged along orthogonal axes, allowing determination of wind intensity and three-dimensional airflow direction without moving mechanical parts. This reduces wear and the need for periodic mechanical maintenance.

For reliable operation at low temperatures, the instrument includes an integrated heating system that helps prevent snow and ice accumulation in the detection area. Heating of the sensor support arms can be enabled or disabled depending on site conditions.

The housing is made of AISI 316 stainless steel and provides IP67 protection, making the anemometer suitable for aggressive atmospheric conditions, including marine environments.

For integration into monitoring and automation systems, the instrument provides galvanically isolated RS232, RS485, RS422, and SDI-12 interfaces, supporting NMEA, Modbus RTU, SDI-12, and proprietary ASCII protocols. It also includes three galvanically isolated analog outputs, which can be assigned to wind speed and direction or to the U-V-W wind components.

The Aeolus WUS30F is suitable for weather stations, wind farms, ports, airports, bridges, buildings, tunnels, and other applications requiring precise 3D airflow measurement.

The anemometer is mounted on a mast with Ø40 mm external diameter and Ø36 mm internal diameter and connects through a 19-pole M23 male connector.
