Portable anemometer plus#
We stock a range of three inexpensive hand-held electronic anemometers specifically intended for measuring wind speed at head-height. Typical line-of-sight range between BL unit and smartphone will be up to 30-50m, perhaps more in favourable circumstances. Each unit is also supplied with a mounting clip, which can obviously be used to fix the BL sensor unit to a suitable mounting point. The smartphone apps for the BL range offer a comprehensive set of features including real-time data display, charting and data tracking, as well as uploads to various online communities including the Skywatch BL online map, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.Īll Skywatch BL units are powered by an internal rechargeable battery (typical battery life is one week), which can be recharged via a standard micro-USB connector. All models are also able to calculate wind chill, heat index and dew point temperatures and the BL400 and BL500 are also able to estimate altitude and QNH pressure using additional GPS tracking.
BL500 (available shortly) – adds pressure and UV readings to the B元00 Īll models use a turbine wind sensor similar to the Windoo sensors and are able to estimate wind direction by differential pressure on the turbine blades.BL400 – adds barometric pressure to the B元00.B元00 – measures wind speed plus temperature & humidity.There are three models currently announced in the BL range:
Portable anemometer android#
The two units are linked via the latest Bluetooth v4.0 Environmental Protocol (ESP) and free display apps are available for both iOS (v8.4 and later) and Android (v4.4 and later) phones. The Skywatch BL range of weather sensors consists of two components: a cylindrical miniature sensor pack, about 4.5″ tall by 1″ in diameter (116x26mm) and your own existing smartphone, which is used for the real-time display of data.
