Environmental Sensors for Wind Resource Assessment
Besides anemometers and wind vanes, Second Wind offers a variety of environmental sensors to measure site conditions. Many work with our Nomad 2 Wind Data Logger.
The SWI
Thermistor is designed specificaly
for use with the Nomad 2 wind data logger.
It consists of a 10K type thermistor
encased in an aluminum shaft, and
comes pre-wired with 3.5 meters
of sensor cable. The thermistor's
resistance changes with temperature,
following a known but non-linear
curve. The Nomad 2 measures the
resistance of the thermistor and
uses a lookup table with over 4,096
values to determine the temperature.
The sensor is wired to 2.5V excitation
on the data logger's terminal strip,
and will run on the 9V power being
supplied to the logger.
This six-plate
radiation shield minimizes error
from gains due to direct sunlight.
The shield can be mounted to a
1 to 2 inch diameter pipe with
a U-bolt clamp or to a larger diameter
tower with a hose clamp.

SETRA
Barometric Pressure Transducer
Setra Systems
has been a technology leader in environmental
pressure measurement for over three
decades. The Model 276 is an extremely
accurate and stable transducer based
on the proven SetraceramT sensing
element. The glass fused ceramic
capacitive sensing capsule is the
heart of Setra's environmental pressure
transducers because of its inherent
thermal stability, low hysteresis
and fundamentally simple design.

LiCor
LI-200SZ Pyranometer Kit
The LiCor pyranometer is designed for field measurement of global solar radiation in agricultural, meteorological, and solar energy studies. In clear unobstructed daylight conditions the LiCor pyranometer compares favorably with first class thermopile type pyranometers but is priced at a fraction of the cost.
