WindHog
The WindHog is just one model from a complete family of Skye DataHog dataloggers and is dedicated to the measurement and monitoring of wind speed and wind direction. Control relays can be added for activating alarms, vents, windows etc according to the prevailing wind conditions.
DataHog loggers have up to a total of 16 sensor inputs, but the WindHog datalogger is just fitted with 1 or 2 channels for wind sensors as required. For full meteorological stations please choose the MiniMet datalogger.
Data is transferred to a PC for analysis either by direct cable link, land telephone line or cellular modem link.
The SkyeLynx Deluxe software includes a special windrose graphing feature, which displays wind speed and direction in a compass style format overlaid on a local site map or plan, ideal for environmental regulation records.
The low cost DataHog2 WindHog includes a traditional pulse anemometer and potentiometer windvane, and records averages of wind speed and direction.
All DataHog loggers can calculate the wind direction as a modal average (or predominant wind direction).
WindHogs are battery powered as standard, but are also available with mains or solar power supplies.
