| Definition | Three lightweight, conical cups mounted on the cup wheel providing linearity with windspeeds up to 75m/s. Rotation speed is measured by a disk attached to the shaft cutting an infrared light beam 14 times per revolution producing pulses counted by a phototransistor. The output rate is directly proportional to wind speed. Improvements over the WAA15A, which the WAA151 is designed to replace, are plug-and-play electrical and mechanical design, an improved mechanical shaft attachment and addition of electrical lightning protection. Both models have the same output, mounting and wiring scheme and so are totally interchangeable. | ||
