EN 60068-2-30 (2005) - Cyclic humidity - Six 24 hour cycles, upper temperature 55°C

Sand & Dust

Sand and dust resistant: DEF STAN 00-35 CL25 (2006) sand particles for 3 hours and dust particles for 3 hours, at 29 m/s air velocity, concentration 1.1g/m³.

Hail

Hail resistant: EN 61215 (2005) 10 hail stones, 7.5 grams each show at the sensor at 23 m/s.

Freezing Rain and Ice

Designed for harsh winters, the FT7 Series wind sensors have an in-built heating system that gives total temperature control. Ice-resistant to MIL-STD-810G:

Ice-resistant: Sensor remains ice-free when freezing rain applied in a chamber with temperature -14°C, wind speed 15m/s.
De-icing: Sensor exposed to freezing rain in air flow of 15m/s and -14°C. Ice built up to 45mm. Heaters switched on. Airflow and temperature unchanged. The sensor was ice-free in under 15 minutes.

Altitude

Passed: EN60068-2-13 (1999) 4 hours at a constant low pressure typical to 3000 metres above sea level.
Additional tests in a dedicated altitude wind tunnel have shown that the sensor measures accurately up to 4000m.
