The VENTUS-UMB ultrasonic wind sensor measures wind speed, wind direction, virtual temperature and barometric pressure using ultrasonic technology. It provides accurate measurements even in extreme ambient conditions down to -40°C. The sensor outputs data through serial and analog interfaces and has an automatic heater to ensure operation in harsh environments. It has an IP68 rating and bird-proof construction making it suitable for use in remote locations.

The accurate wind sensor uses the run-time differential method for determining the wind speed and wind direction. It provides output for instantaneous values, vector and scalar means, the maximum gust of wind and wind direction, the maximum/minimum values and the virtual temperature. Data output through serial or analogue interfaces provides compatibility of the Lufft Ventus for commercially available hydrometeorological dataloggers and PLC systems. An automatic heater ensures reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions.
