Brass Indicators
6 1/2" O.D., 2 3/4" Deep. Solid brass case, polished and lacquered or chrome-plated (optional,extra). Dials 4 3/4" O.D.,
spun aluminum with black numerals or matte black with white numerals.
Full 250° scale length, pivot and jewel movements, 300 microamps full scale, 450 Ohms resistance with 180°/sec. response rate.
Wind Speed Gust Register response rate 75% Vv/5 seconds. Reset knob clutch torque less than 1ft. lb., spring loaded.
Handheld Anemometers
Cup shaft is stainless steel revolving between stainless ball bearings. Folding cups are made of Lexan.
Instrument housing is black ABS material with 1/8" thick wall. Swept diameter on cups 5 3/4".
Generators
Cup-type: 7 1/2" swept diameter, weighs 4 oz. Output linearly proportional to 8 MPH. Black Lexan housing impervious to
shock, vibration, sunlight and ice. Calibrated to a master to be interchangeable. Thrust
and joint bearings are O-ring mounted, self-aligning to Beryllium copper shaft, impervious to moisture and salt air.
Bearings are self-lubricating Rulon J for stability under extreme conditions.
Distributor
Wind Vane swept diameter 7 1/2". Housing and bearings same as generator (above). Five solid brass 4-40 stud
terminals for antenna rotor type cable. Permanent magnet actuates 8 hermetically sealed magnetic
reed switches for long life.
Diode logic system permits five wire operations.
Air and Water Sensors
Air: 3" overall height; 2" housing diameter. Probe is nickel-plated brass,
1/2" O.D., 1" long. Sensor element is a precision thermistor, a solid state device which changes its
resistance inversely proportional with temperature from 150,000 Ohms at low end to 1,500 Ohms at high end.
Interchangeability of thermistors is +/- 0.2°C; time constant 10 sec.
Water: Thermistor specifications identical to Air Sensor. Housing is solid bronze rod, bored to
accept thermistor in its very end and potted wiring. 3" long, 3/8" O.D. Water
sensor is intended for boats, pools and hot tubs. For any other application, consult Maximum.
Current Requirements
Instruments requiring power are supplied with outlet-mounted transformers for 120-Volt AC household
current. Where power is not available, most instruments are available to run off
optional 12VDC power source. European voltages are available as an option.
