Six key weather parameters – one compact sensor

The u[sonic]WS6 delivers precise wind direction and speed – reliably and with minimal maintenance thanks to ultrasonic technology without moving parts. This reduces maintenance costs, minimizes downtime, and ensures stable measurement results, even under extreme conditions. In addition to wind data, the compact sensor measures air temperature, relative humidity, and air pressure; dew point is calculated from these values. An intelligent heating system automatically prevents ice buildup, while the integrated louvered radiation shield ensures accurate temperature and humidity readings. Quick installation saves time and makes operation especially efficient.

Accurate wind measurement: Ultrasonic technology with no moving parts
Additional parameters: Temperature, humidity, air pressure, calculated dew point
Smart heating: Automatically adapts to wind conditions
Precise readings: Louvered shield protects sensitive sensors
Low maintenance & efficient: No mechanical wear, easy installation
