KISTERS’ ultrasonic anemometers AR200 and WS200 provide precise and maintenance-free measurement of wind speed and wind direction. The compact devices are designed for applications in hydrology, meteorology and other weather-dependent applications where durability, precision and operations in different moderate climatic conditions are required.

The sensors are designed and developed with corrosion-resistant durable materials and with a solid structure. They are maintenance-free with no moving parts, light-weight and cost-effective for durable measuring performance. The devices are easy to use, install and integrate into 3rd party systems. 

The sensors have been tested and approved against following environment conditions:

  • High and low temperature ranges
  • Humid weather (humidity and ingress protection)
  • Windy and coastal environments (vibration and salt spray sustainability
  • Measuring interval 4 Hz and gust according WMO guideline No8
  • Output of current value as “3 seconds gliding mean value“ 
  • Wind speed measurement up to 60 m/s (AR200) or up to 75 m/s (AR200P-H), or up to 45 m/s (WS200)
  • Durable materials: teflon coated aluminum alloy (AR200), polycarbonate (WS200)
  • Low power consumption
  • No moving parts and maintenance-free
  • High accuracy
  • Optional heating (AR200P-H only)
  • Low costs of installation and total costs of ownership
  • Universal and selectable interfaces and protocols such as SDI-12 or RS 485 
  • M12 connector and cable 
  • Metric and imperial units
  • Extended version AR200 E-H with wind speed up to 75 m/s, heater and electronic compass

HyQuest Solutions’ anemometers are especially suitable for applications in

  • Automatic weather stations according to WMO No8
  • Hydrometerorology and climatology
  • Ship navigation, coastal and marine environments
  • Wind power industry
  • Container ports / wharves
  • Electric power transmission stations
  • Road weather monitoring, infrastructure, airports, bridges, tunnels, photovoltaic farms
  • Urban environment monitoring, smart cities, municipalities
  • Agrimeteorology
  • Building automation
