Handheld anemometer RVM 96B-1 is truly portable, easy to use electronic – mechanical device for wind measurements. It is used in all cases, where other instruments, due to their design, weight or dimensions, are unsuitable.
System for measuring wind speed is optoelectronic, with 3-cup Robinson’s cross and digital liquid crystal display. Wind speed is sampled in 1-second intervals. Four AA-type (R6) batteries located in a handle power the electronics. Automatic power-off circuit switches the instrument off, when cup assembly is not rotating for more than 4 minutes. As an option, wind speed data can be transmitted to the external device each second by RS 232 serial port (RVM 96B/T).
RVM 96B-1 can be set to measure wind speed in m/s, km/h, knots, or mph. Wind speed units can be selected by the user.
A mechanical system with a vane and circular scale is used for measuring the direction of the wind. Built-in electronic compass enables proper orientation of the device.
Lid of a handle has standard 1” nut to enable the attachment of the device to the standard photographic tripod.
A case is provided for transport and storage of RVM 96B-1.
