The YOUNG Model 05106 Wind Monitor-MA measures horizontal wind speed and direction. Similar in operation to Model 05103, it utilizes long-lasting, corrosion resistant, ceramic bearings and ruggedized vertical components for the additional rigors of a marine environment. The sensor is available with different cable lengths that are attached in a sealed capsule internal to the sensor. The direct output for wind speed is an AC sine wave and direction is a precision potentiometer. This sensor mounts on a standard 1-inch IPS pipe. A mounting orientation ring is included.
A separate Surge Protection Assembly, Model 19120, is available that doubles as both a junction box for cable termination and additional electrical transient surge protection. Separate signal conditioning devices are available to convert the sensor signals to 0-5 V (Model 05603C) or 4-20 mA (Model 05631C). All three of these devices are enclosed in weatherproof enclosures and come with mounting hardware (Model 19120 is not typically used in conjunction with either Model 05603C or 05631C).
