Calypso Ultra-Low Power (ULP) Standard Wired Ultrasonic Wired Wind Meter

Price range: £489.95 through £554.95

The Calypso Ultra-Low Power Wired Ultrasonic anemometer is a reliable and extremely accurate wind speed and direction sensor with ultra-low power consumption. Just 70mm in diameter the sensor is designed to gather highly accurate wind speed and direction data, with minimal power consumption.

The unit is available in 4 data protocol options:

  • RS485(NMEA0183) / MODBUS
  • UART / I2C
  • 4-20mA
  • SDI12

Add Mast Mount Accessories

The Calypso Ultra-Low Power (ULP) Wired Ultrasonic Anemometer is a reliable, highly accurate wind speed and wind direction sensor with minimal power consumption, measuring just 70mm in diameter.

Built with advanced solid-state ultrasonic technology, the Calypso ULP Wired Sensor offers many advantages over traditional cup and vane anemometers. With no moving parts, it avoids issues like ball bearings binding with age or damage from bird strikes and fouling from debris, ensuring long-term durability and accuracy.

The ULP Wind Meter measures both wind speed (air velocity) and wind direction. Its unique aerodynamic shape reduces moisture build-up, guaranteeing precise data even in heavy rain. Constructed from machined engineered plastic (black), it is robust, durable, and ideal for harsh marine and terrestrial environments.


Data Protocol Options

  • RS485 (NMEA0183) / MODBUS

  • UART / I2C

  • 4-20mA

  • SDI12


Requiring only 0.25mA @1Hz (RS485), this ultra-low power sensor is the perfect choice for accurate, real-time wind speed and direction monitoring while keeping energy consumption to a minimum.

The Calypso ULP Wired Ultrasonic Anemometer is easy to install, compatible with multiple mounting options including aluminium or carbon fibre poles (33cm and 1m lengths), L-shaped offset mast mounts, and pole adaptors.

Compact, precise, and energy-efficient, the Calypso Ultra-Low Power Wired Ultrasonic Wind Meter is the perfect long-term solution for marine, terrestrial, and industrial applications requiring dependable wind monitoring.
