Please watch the video below for more information on this product.
Product Overview:
- Instrument type - Five channel wind and solar data logger kit including sensors analysis software.
- Application - Wind and solar resource assessment for small microgeneration sites.
- Digital channels - One.
- Analogue channels - Four.
- Functions - Data is collected in time & date stamped, ten minute average samples, which are analysed by the accompanying web software.
- Sampling interval - 10 seconds, fixed.
- Averaging interval - 10 minutes, fixed.
- Real time clock - User programmable date and time, adjusts for leap years.
- Storage medium - Non-volatile, removable 512MB SD memory card, capable of storing many years of data. USB converter included in pack.
- Maximum data storage - Data storage equates to only around 3 MB per year so the memory card supplied provides excessive space.
- Parameters recorded - Date Time / Wind pulses per 10 minute interval / Raw wind direction average / Raw solar average / spare channel / Raw temperature average / Wind direction variance (beta).
- File format - Tab delimited ASCII directly compatible with Excel, although Power Predictor software is required to apply correct conversion factors of raw data collected.
- Software - Fully featured analysis software including high resolution graphing, summarising and individual wind turbine power output forecasting.
- Software licensing - Twelve months software license included in the kit. Annual renewal costs 10 GBP or local equivalent.
- LCD display User Interface - 2 line, 8 character LCD shows 10 second sample of wind speed (m/s), raw solar check and current time. 'R' signal on screen indicates recording is active. Screen sleeps by default to conserve battery life.
- Configurable parameters - Time, Date, Screen timeout period.
- Supply voltage - Nominal 9V DC, minimum 3.3V DC.
- Current consumption - Average of 24uA.
- Battery - 9V Alkaline PP3 battery supplied, (6LF22-9V-AM6) Estimated lifespan 3 - 6 months depending on operating temperature. Use of higher specification battery recommended for longer unattended logging or extreme environments.
- Mounting - Logger: Velcro attachment supplied, user to select appropriate means of fixing according to situation Sensor: bracket supplied with fixing holes. Screws or cable ties can be used to secure to mounting pole.
- Operating temperature range - -10 °C to 50 °C. Recommend logger is positioned in the shade to reduce UV damage and effect on battery life.
- Operating humidity range - 0 - 100% RH non condensing.
