1.0 INTRODUCTION

external power is required since the encoding electronics for wind speed and for wind direction are
isolated and powered from their respective 2-wire current loops.
The WMS-22 wind sensor includes a three-cup anemometer and wind vane. The sensor is ruggedly
constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic and anodized aluminum parts. The cable that connects the
pole-mounted wind sensor to the encoder electronics package may be extended up to a total of 250
feet. The encoded current loops signals may be transmitted over distances of up to several miles.
The electronics package, which is typically mounted in an indoor locations, is supplied in a gasketed,

Two versions are offered; the WMS-22A measures wind speed only, while the WMS-22 measures
both wind speed and direction. The WMS-22 systems consist of two subassemblies: a wind sensor
and a signal conditioning electronics assembly.
2.0 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 The Wind Sensor
The rotating assembly containing the three-cup anemometer and wind vane for sensing wind speed
and directional information is called the wind sensor. The wind vane is mounted on a common axis
with the anemometer and includes a tail fin with a nose weight that provides balance.
