Wind Sensors
Nexgen can offer a complete range of integrated products incorporating the latest in monitoring equipment, data
logging and sensor options. We have a wide range of different sensors available to suit your specific requirements,
which can be combined into a complete system to give you everything you need to monitor the wind.

The Vector A100 Anemometer The Vector Wind Vane

The A100 Anemometer has a 3 cup rotor
running a shaft, and is available as either a
passive version using a magnetically-
actuated switch or an active version using a
chopped optical beam. Both versions provide
pulse signals proportional to the wind speed
being monitored. A MEASNET calibration
service is also available.
Incorporating a precision wire-wound
potentiometer enabling wind direction to be
accurately observed. Marine and anti-icing
hear options are available on request. The
instrument geometry meets IEA standards.

C3
The C3 sensor is a simple sensor designed
to allow easy and cost effective monitoring.
Both the rotor and base are made from a
tough polycarbonate, to ensure exceptional
durability and long life.
C3C
The C3C anemometer is identical to the C3
sensor but it has the added benefit of being
calibrated at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology wind tunnel.

NRG #40C Anemometer NRG #200P Wind Vane

Manufactured in a special robust plastic, this
is a simple yet rugged performer. Cup
rotation produces an AC sine wave voltage,
with frequency proportional to wind speed.
The #40C comes with a calibration certificate
that is traceable to NIST standards .
This competitively priced wind vane uses a
potentiometer located inside the main body
which produces a resistance in proportion to
the wind direction.

Booms & Arms
Booms
To meet the growing range of anemometer requirements
and proliferation of new standards for sensor booms,
Nexgen has created the ideal flexible solution.
Nexgen manufacture three ‘standard’ side booms:

Lightning Kits and Aviation Lights

Solar Aviation Light
The A601 is an advanced LED aviation light
designed to provide an easy, low cost solution with
a visibility of up to 2 miles. It has an integrated
solar panel and rechargeable battery to provide a
long term power supply.

Aluminium Lightning Protection Kits

Designed to help to protect sensors and loggers from lightning strikes,
this protection kit conducts the energy down the length of the mast to the
ground. The kit contains a lightning spike, grounding rod and aluminium
wire to fit the size of your mast, and comes complete with a ground
joining length of copper tape and all the necessary connectors and mast
clips. The kit is designed to meet, or exceed BS 6651.
