Ultrasonic Wind Gauge

The Lynx Ultrasonic Wind Gauge is an affordable anemometer that utilizes World Athletics-approved ultrasonic technology to provide accurate wind speed and direction data. The unit is a FinishLynx accessory that connects directly to an EtherLynx Camera, Connection Box, SeriaLynx unit, or computer serial port. This allows live wind gauge data to integrate seamlessly with FinishLynx.

The Lynx ultrasonic wind gauge is housed in a robust, corrosion-free polycarbonate casing. It is small, lightweight, and operates flawlessly in harsh environmental conditions. It also has no moving parts, ensuring maintenance-free operation throughout the year. The wind gauge package also comes equipped with a tripod, carrying case, and a 60 meter serial connection cable for great mobility and easy setup.
