|
All of the A100 Series Anemometers manufactured by Vector Instruments utilise a highly sensitive yet robust 3-cup rotor from our R30 series.
Manufactured from weather-resisting plastics, anodised aluminium and stainless steels, each rotor is individually calibrated in our own wind tunnel at one windspeed (9m/s) by comparison to one of a set of reference rotors which are themselves independently calibrated and traceable to national standards. Most other manufacturers do not offer any individual calibration as standard.

The R30 series rotors are fixed to the anemometer using a unique gravity-sensitive fastener which does away with the need for any rotor clamping screws, making it easy and quick to fit/remove, but ensuring it stays securely fitted while in service.
The standard rotor is available as R30K, R30M and R30S which have different calibrations and are for use with different anemometer types.
While rotors are physically interchangeable between all anemometer types, it should be ensured that the correct calibration/type is used with an anemometer to guarantee that the rated signal is output by the anemometer.
As a rule, it is advisable to keep anemometer/rotor pairs together (anemometer/rotor pairs are identified by labels on the boxes when the items are shipped).
Options/Variants:
Marine versions of the R30 series rotors are available which are designed to reduce the likelyhood of ingress of sea/salt water and/or sand/dust (e.g. R302) - one of these is normally shipped with "marine" specification (/WR) anemometers.
Rotor fitting/removal instructions are available in the "Help..." section.
