R3 and R3A Research Ultrasonic Wind Sensors
The R3 and R3A combine the latest electronic components with Gill Instrument Ltd’s considerable experience in producing solid state ultrasonic anemometers for micrometeorological research. They take as their pedigree the world leading Solent Research R2 and R2A which have been proven time and time again to be consistent and reliable instruments for the study of wind and its turbulence parameters. The R3 and R3A have a faster response time, up to 100s-1, and operating software, RCOM, designed to be robust and simpler to use. The resolution of the analogue outputs has been greatly improved to 14 bits whilst the high accuracy and measurement resolution of the Solent Research has been maintained. Optional extras such as an Inclinometer are available as well as a Sensor Input Unit to allow up to 6 analogue sensors plus a PRT100 input.

WindSonic |
WindSonic - Ultrasonic Wind Sensor
A lightweight unit, WindSonic is of a robust, high strength construction designed to withstand installation and use with no fear of the damage commonly experienced with more fragile cups, vanes or propellers. Without the need for expensive on-site calibration or maintenance and with a corrosion free exterior, WindSonic is a true fit and forget unit. The flexible design enables you to easily configure WindSonic to deliver the information you require. By using the software provided it is possible to select the output rate and choose the units of measurement that suit your application. Ensuring accuracy and reliability, WindSonic automatically transmits an anemometer status code with each output to indicate its operating status. Available in three options, providing a number of different digital and analogue outputs.

MetPak |
MetPak - Combined Wind Speed & Direction with Temperature & Humidity
The Gill MetPak is a compact and lightweight multi-sensor instrument that measures the most essential weather parameters. Gill ultrasonic technology, as used in the proven WindSonic instrument, measures wind speed and direction. Temperature and humidity are measured using industry standard probes housed in a naturally aspirated radiation shield.
The instrument can be supplied with either a digital SDI-12 output or a four channel analogue output option, suitable to interface to industry standard data loggers. Low power consumption enables the instrument to be used in remote locations where power is at a premium. An electrical junction box is fitted to the mounting bracket allowing convenient termination of all electrical cables.

I.S. WindObserver |
Intrinsically Safe WindObserver
The Intrinsically Safe WindObserver has been developed specifically for use in hazardous areas and in particular for offshore applications. The system combines the latest development in technology with Gill's considerable expertise in the production of solid state anemometers. The Intrinsically Safe WindObserver is a lightweight, robust unit, completely sealed and constructed in stainless steel.
With a low start-up speed (0.01 m/ s) and no moving parts, the Gill anemometer exhibits significant benefits over standard three cup anemometers. The Intrinsically Safe WindObserver requires no calibration or maintenance. Wind speed and direction data is provided via a RS422 or RS232 bi- directional link and the output may be configured by the user to provide a variety of communication formats, including a choice of units of measure and averaging periods. Sophisticated error checking and a fault reporting system are supplied as standard, ensuring the user's confidence in the reported data.

WindMaster |
WindMaster- Ultrasonic Wind Sensor
The new WindMaster three axis anemometer is a robust instrument based on time of flight measurements and is essential in the understanding of turbulent flows, surface energy balance and scalar fluxes. All these areas of research rely on accurate and precise measurements of mean and variance of (time averaged) wind velocities and Speed of Sound (SOS) derived temperature. This is particularly true in determining scalar fluxes using the eddy covariance technique. Gill employs the optimum mechanical configuration and electronic processing to minimise flow distortion and transducer shadow effects. Gill undertakes an individual calibration with a Gill wind tunnel test on each unit to provide the optimum performance.

WindDisplay
The Gill Instruments digital WindDisplay is a combined wind speed and direction indicator available in two formats standard or marine. Wind speed information is displayed using two, 3 digit LED arrays to provide current wind speed and maximum or minimum gust data; and a double ring of 36 LEDs indicate current and average wind direction.
The WindDisplay has been designed to operate with the Gill WindObserver II and WindSonic wind sensors. WindDisplay receives data directly from the wind sensor in either Gill or NMEA mode without the need for additional interfaces.
Depending upon the capacity and type of cable used data transfer is possible up to a distance of 1000m.
