The WS-15A offers a cost effective solution for wind display and monitoring when using the WindSonic range of wind sensors, the WindObserver II sensor and NMEA sensors.

It has an easy to read alpha-numeric display which shows wind speed in a choice of measurement units and wind direction in degrees, as a wind arrow and as cardinal points.

There is a wind speed alarm output and sensor/system status display. The wind speed alarm is configurable as either a high or a low alarm and to avoid false alarm events, there are adjustable hold off and hold on times. Take a look at our compatible audible alarm unit.

The five tactile buttons with displayed prompts make operation and configuration of the system simple. Adjustable settings include sensor alignment, alarm, wind speed units, sensor input, display contrast and backlight. An adjustment lock is provided to avoid inadvertent adjustment of the alarm and sensor settings.

An RS232 output is provided for connecting to a data logger (see our WindLogger) or computer. When using the WindSonic's RS422/RS485 output this can often eliminate the need for a separate RS422/RS485 to RS232 converter. There is also an optically isolated input for when extra isolation of the sensor is required.

The WS-15A display can be used as part of a remote sensor system using Digi Xstream-PKG radio modem to transmit and receive data.  When using these radios the WS-15A will display a signal strength bar to help with optimal positioning of the antenna.

In a system several WS-15A display units can be connected to one sensor or daisy chained using the RS232 output.
