5. Overview
The A100LK is an IEC Class 1 anemometer. It is a low-power version of the
A100L2, which was developed from the proven A100 Porton™ instrument and
R30 rotor design. The A100LK consumes little supply current, operating from
a supply as low as 5 volts.
Rotation of the A100LK's three-cup rotor is electronically converted to pulse
output signals proportional to wind speed. The A100LK produces a higher rate
of pulses per revolution (up to 13) compared to relay based sensors, making it
suitable for wind surveying where turbulence needs to be estimated.
The A100LK is a rugged instrument, constructed from anodized aluminum
alloys, stainless steel, and weather resistant plastics. A stainless steel shaft
runs in two precision, corrosion-resistant ball-races. The bearings are protected
from the entry of moisture droplets and dust, resulting in an instrument suitable
for permanent exposure to the weather.
The low power consumption, wide power supply range, pulse/frequency signal,
and first-class performance rating make this anemometer ideal for use with our
dataloggers in wind-power site surveying applications.
The A100LK is manufactured by Windspeed Ltd and then cabled by Campbell
Scientific.
