Meteorology

The CR800 series is used in long-term climatological monitoring, me-

teorological research, and routine weather measurement applications.

Sensors the CR800 series can measure include:

Data is output in a choice of units (e.g., wind speed in miles per hour,

meters per second, or knots). Standard outputs include wind vector

averaging, sigma, theta, and histograms.

Agriculture and Agricultural Research

The versatility of the CR800 and CR850 allows measurement of agri-

cultural processes and equipment in applications such as:

Wind Proling

Our data acquisition systems can monitor conditions at wind as-

sessment sites, at producing wind farms, and along transmission

lines. The reliability of these systems ensures data collection, even

under adverse conditions. Wide operating temperature ranges and

weatherproof enclosures allow our systems to operate reliably in

harsh environments.

The CR800 or CR850 makes and records measurements, controls

electrical devices, and can function as PLCs or RTUs. Because the

datalogger has its own power supply (batteries, solar panels), it can

continue to measure and store data and perform control during

power outages.

Typical sensors for wind assessment applications include, but are not

limited to:

cup, propeller, and sonic anemometers (up to 10 anemometers

can be measured by using two LLAC4 peripherals)

wind vanes

thermistors, RTDs, and thermocouples

barometers

pyranometers

For turbine performance applications, the CR800 series monitors

electrical current, voltage, wattage, stress, and torque.

7 to 8 km out to sea.

Applications

e measurement precision, exibility, long-term reliability, and economical price of the CR800 and CR850 make them ideal for scientic, commercial, and

industrial applications.
