Wind measurement to suit the building and system

For tall or complex buildings, it can be useful to measure wind at several points. Our new compact wind sensor Windancer basic W is designed for precisely this purpose, measuring wind speed with a mechanical cup anemometer.

To ensure it blends in as discreetly as possible with the façade design, Windancer basic W is available in white and dark grey, to match building elements in anthracite (RAL 7016) and black, as well as grey roof windows in the shade NCS S 7500-N.

Two versions are available to suit different project requirements:

Which version is right for your project? Below, we take a closer look at both models.

Windancer basic W GI

The wind threshold is set directly on the device. If this threshold is exceeded, Windancer basic W GI issues a wind alarm via the potential-free switching output. The signal can also be integrated into a KNX system via a binary input.
