 Gill Instruments: HS-50
Key Features:
- 50Hz Data Rate
- Custom Calibrated
- Optional Analogue Outputs
- Speed of Sound and
- Sonic Temperature Outputs
- Analogue Inputs + PRT Input
- Inclinometer Included
- Carry Case Included
The Solent Research HS-50 has been designed to meet researchers' exacting requirements.
The horizontal symmetrical head allows for more accurate measurement of vertical flows, with minimum interuption from the anemometer geometery.
It can be easily positioned close to the ground or to the crop & tree canopies for accurate measurement of surface turbulance. Many features are included as standard and it is designed to be simple to use. The head and built in inclinometer allow for easy yet accurate positioning of the instrument on a tower or mast and the seperate electronic unit allows simple access to the 6 analogue inputs and PRT 100 input.
The improved head design and rugged stainless steel construction of the HS ensures long term stability and makes it ideal for use in most environments and harsh climates.
*Supplied Accesssories - RCOM operating system with a graphical interface (data presentation and storage; flux calculations); electronics unit incorporating Analogue and PRT inputs cable to head; power supply (PCIA); Inclinometer; Transit Case.
Optional Accessories - Analogue Inputs via Power and Communications Interface Unit (PCIA)
