RM YOUNG - Marine Wind Monitor 05106-8M - 8 Meter Cable

DESCRIPTION The YOUNG Model 05106 Wind Monitor-MA measures horizontal wind speed and direction. Similar in operation to Model 05103, it utilizes long-lasting, corrosion resistant, ceramic bearings and ruggedized vertical components for the additional rigors of a marine environment. The sensor is available with different cable lengths that are attached in a sealed capsule internal to the sensor. The direct output for wind speed is an AC sine wave and direction is a precision potentiometer. This sensor mounts on a standard 1-inch IPS pipe.
