Technical | Ordering Information

[img of RVM 96B]Handheld anemometer RVM 96B is truly a portable, easy to use electronic mechanical device for wind measurements. It is used in all cases, where other instruments, due to their design, weight or dimensions, are unsuitable.

The system for measuring wind speed is optoelectronic, with 3-cup Robinson's cross and digital liquid crystal display. Wind speed is sampled in 1-second intervals. Four AA type (R6) batteries located in a handle power the electronics. Automatic power-off circuit switches the instrument off, when the cup assembly is not rotating for more than 4 minutes. As an option, wind speed data can be transmitted to the external device each second by a RS232 serial port (RVM96B/T).

RVM96B can be ordered to measure wind speed in m/s, km/h, knots or mph. Wind speed unit must be specified in advance.

A mechanical system with a vane and circular scale is used for measuring the direction of the wind. Built-in compass enables proper orientation of the device.

A lid on the handle has a standard 1/4" nut to enable the attachment of the device to the standard photographic tripod.

A case is provided for the transport and storage of the RVM96B.
