Lufft VentusX-UMB Ultrasonic Wind Sensor, Extended Heating

Lufft VentusX-UMB Ultrasonic Wind Sensor, Extended Heating
Product #: 8371.UMTX
Brand: LUFFT
Unit Price Contact Hach

Suitable for extreme applications

Most powerful integrated heater with additional transducer heater, that can be switched on if there is danger of frost – guarantees ice-free operation in extremely low temperatures and freezing conditions.

Versatile

Built-in data pre-processing, universal interfaces and selectable output protocols – compatible with OTT-dataloggers, commercially available HydroMet dataloggers and PLS systems.

Maintenance-free

Maintenance-free operation – no moving parts that can wear out thanks to ultrasonic measuring method; no need for re-calibration.
