The MetSens200 compact weather sensor measures wind speed and direction via an ultrasonic sensor. An integrated electronic compass allows the MetSens200 to provide accurate, relative wind direction measurements without being oriented in a particular way, making installation easier. WMO average wind speed and direction and gust data are provided. The MetSens200 is compatible and easily integrated with the MeteoPV Solar Resource Platform and any Campbell Scientific data logger using SDI-12, RS-485, ModbusRS-485, or NMEA RS-232.
