Specification

WindScribe. Ultrasonic wind meter
Part # : 00276

Ultrasonic wind meter uses patented technology to read current wind speed, highest positive speed ( headwind) , lowest negative speed ( tailwind) , 5-second average, and running average.

Select from mph, km/ h, fpm, m/ s, f/ s, or knots, plus temperature and wind chill in tenths of ° F or ° C. Sensitive to breezes as low as 0.4 mph, yet withstands winds as high as 150 mph.

Includes replaceable 3-volt lithium battery, lanyard and mounting bracket. Battery lasts up to 600 hours.
