The A+T 500 series Wind Sensor is fully compatible with the existing B&G 213 masthead units that are already in use and the instrument systems to which they are connected. The A+T 500 series wind sensor is available as a complete unit (horizontal and vertical options) or for replacement parts to legacy equipment.
It has many improvements over the original units:
*Higher angular accuracy and repeatability
*Carbon vane - faster response and design
*Fully ceramic bearings giving better performance at low wind speeds and corrosion resistant, giving much longer life
*30% lighter than legacy units
*Adjustable counterweight for fine tuning balance
*Graphite loaded body is conductive to lessen the chance of lightening/static damage
*Uses existing mast cable and compatible with existing instrument systems
