Compact Weather Sensor for Wind with Compass (MetSens200)
Measures Wind Speed and Direction
The MetSens200 is a compact ultrasonic weather sensor that measures wind speed and direction. Its built-in electronic compass enables accurate relative wind direction measurements without requiring specific sensor orientation, simplifying installation. The sensor provides WMO-compliant average wind speed, wind direction, and gust data, and integrates easily with Campbell Scientific data loggers and the MeteoPV Solar Resource Platform through multiple communication protocols.
