Introduction
1.1
General
Thank you for purchasing a wind logger PCE-WL2 from PCE Instruments.
The wind logger PCE-WL 2 is used to determine and analyse the current wind situation before putting
wind energy plants into service. The wind sensor saves measured data on wind direction as well as wind
velocity to an SD memory card. This means that after the measurement, the data can be further analysed
by means of a PC. Its case is weather-resistant and protected according to the IP65 protection class. The
cable of the wind sensor is connected to the data logger via screwed connections. The wind sensor can
measure velocities of up to 40 m/s and wind directions of between 2.5 º and 357.5 º. The cup
anemometer of the wind logger is equipped with low-wear reed relays that ensure a long operating time.
Optionally, this device can be equipped with a display which indicates wind direction and velocity results
in real time.
