WSS 750
The DEIF ultrasonic WSS 750 wind sensor has an extended range. Like the WSS 550, the WSS 750 has no moving parts that can cause wear problems typical for cup- and vane-type anemometers. This ensures consistent and reliable performance without significant maintenance costs. Marine approved, with an IP67 rating, stainless steel construction and a separately powered heater to prevent icing, the WSS 750 is an extremely rugged solution for heavy marine wind measurement applications such as Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems.
