response. The foil heaters integrated in the vane & tail assembly
protect the gauge’s rotating parts against, even in extreme climates.
The transmission of heating power to the WAV252's rotor is
contactless, with no slip rings or brushes. This feature eliminates
sparks and excessive friction or wear.
Power consumption, typically 50 watts, is very low considering the
heating efficiency and the protection against freezing provided.

Figure 16 WAS425A Ultrasonic Wind Sensor
WAS425A and WAS425AH Ultrasonic Wind Sensors determine wind
speed and wind direction. The difference between these sensors is that
model WAS425A is unheated, whereas model WAS425AH has a
built-in heater. WAS425AH uses 36 VDC to power the heater
elements. The elements have a built-in thermostat to switch the
heaters on when the transducer head needs it. The ultrasonic wind
sensor is shown in Figure 16 above. The joint sensor features are:
- Communication with a wide range of data acquisition systems
using:
- Digital output for RS-232 serial data interface
- Analog outputs
- No moving parts
- Power-on self-tests of RAM and ROM
- Contamination and corrosion resistance since exposed surfaces are
stainless steel and anodized aluminum
- Simple alignment to true north.
