2.1 Introduction to WMT700
WMT700 measures wind speed and direction, and sends the measurement results to data
acquisition systems. WMT700 is suitable for systems and stand-alone installations.
The WMT700 series consists of four product types with dierent measurement ranges:
WMT701, WMT702, WMT703, and WMT704. You can select heating functions that shield the
array and/or the transducers and the sensor body from ice and snow build-up in cold
climates.
The WMT700 series wind sensors are based on the advanced, patented Vaisala WINDCAP
wind measurement technology that ensures accurate results in all wind directions. The
eects of temperature, humidity, and pressure are fully compensated.
Since the wind sensors have no moving parts, they are virtually maintenance-free. The
performance of the sensors does not degrade with wear nor is it aected by natural
contaminants such as salt, dust, or sand.
The WMT700 series wind sensors support a wide range of communication options. You can
connect the wind sensors directly to a variety of data acquisition systems without additional
converters or adapters.
WMT700 is configured at the factory according to your order, and it is ready for operation
directly after the installation. You also have a wide range of configuration options and
measurement settings.
WMT700 can be equipped with accessories to tailor the instrument to match dierent user-
specific
needs. The accessories include a bird deterrent solution and a field-usable
calibration verifier.
