The FT742 Pipe Mount wind sensor is designed for installation on top of a pipe or post with an FT090 pipe mount adapter. The sensor cable is run inside the pipe giving added lightning and environmental protection. Factory alignment of the pipe mount adapter ensures that the sensor is automatically aligned with the central axis of the turbine without error. Measuring wind speeds up to 75m/s it is suitable for use in the stormiest areas of the world. The thermostatically controlled heating system prevents ice build-up, not only on the sensor itself, but also on the metal adapter and pipe. This prevents blockage of the measurement cavity, reducing turbine downtime during heavy icing events. Designed to last for up to 20 years, even in an offshore environment, the Pipe Mount sensor is used by turbine manufacturers around the world. Highly resistant to electromagnetic and acoustic interference, it is also an ideal choice for smaller-scale wind turbines. A. Sensor height to connector base C.
