Handheld anemometer - meteorological station RVM 96C
RVM96C is a portable meteorological station, easy to use for basic field meteorological measurements: wind speed and direction, temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity and horizontal orientation (compass). It is used in all cases, where other instruments, due to their design, weight, or dimensions, are unsuitable.
- Built-in electronic compass
- Illuminated LC display
- Calculations of mean and extremes values
- Scalar or vector wind processing
- Built-in storage of statistic data
- Serial or Bluetooth data transmission
- Rechargeable Li-ion battery
- Transport case included
When in basic mode, RVM96C shows on it`s illuminated graphic LCD, depending on the selection, one of the following types of measured data: instant data, average data for the selected interval, minimums for the selected interval and maximums for the selected interval.
Operation parameters are selected and set through the menu-organized comands. Settings and constants are stored in EEPROM, so that they are unchanged when instrument is switched off, even when battery is removed.
At the end of each data processing interval, mean values and extremes are stored with the time stamps in the EEPROM data storage. These data can be reviewed later on the instrument display or transmitted serially to the external computer (RS232). RVM96C can store data for up to 2048 data processing intervals. This means, that data for 85 days are stored, provided that averaging interval is set to 1 hour. Data are stored on FIFO (first in – first out) principle.
System for measuring wind speed is optoelectronic, with 3-cup Robinson’s cross. Direction is also measured digitally (6-bit Gray code), corrected automatically to the true wind direction by built-in electronic compass.
RVM96C can measure wind speed in m/s, km/h, knots, or mph, and temperature in ºC or ºF.
Lid of a handle has standard ¼” nut to enable the attachment of the device to the standard camera tripod.
The RVM96C is equipped with a portable case.
There is also an optional bluetooth conection with android devices so you can view the real-time or saved data on them.
