Low-Velocity Windsocks

Orange Windsock

Orange Windsock Kit

Orange/White Windsock

Orange/White Windsock Kit

These lightweight windsocks react to the slightest wind movements.

To replace an existing windsock, you must determine the inlet diameter. Lay the windsock flat to measure the inlet and multiply by 0.63 for the inlet diameter.

Individual windsocks come with mounting ties.

Windsock kits come with everything you need for mounting, including an inlet frame, pole, mounting ties, and brackets.

High-Velocity Windsocks

Use these sturdy windsocks to track stronger wind movements than low-velocity windsocks. Inlet frames are sold separately.

To replace an existing windsock, you must determine the inlet diameter. Lay the windsock flat to measure the inlet and multiply by 0.63 for the inlet diameter.

Rugged-Service Weather Stations

Real-Time Display

Weather Data Center Display

Operates on 8-15 VDC. Output is pulse for wind speed and analog voltage for wind direction. Optional line driver converts the output into 4-20 mA for use with standard PLCs (programmable logic controllers).

Wireless Weather Stations

Monitor nine different weather conditions up to 1,000 feet away. The outdoor weather sensor measures outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall rate, total rainfall, barometric pressure, heat index, wind chill, and dew point. It wirelessly transmits readings to the console by radio signal. Console has built-in sensors to measure indoor temperature and humidity. Console can be placed on a desk or mounted to a wall. They cannot be sold to the listed areas due to product registration requirements.
