Hail

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.
Ice

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.
Altitude

Vibration

3 axis Sinusoidal and Random Vibration.

Passed:
  • EN 60068-2-6 (2008)
    5-500 Hz, 1 octave/min sweep range for sinusoidal vibration.
  • EN 60068-2-64 (2008)
    5-500 Hz, 90 mins per axis, 0.0075g²/Hz for random vibration.
Vibration

Drop
