This wind gauge package includes the WG-Lynx wind gauge plus the: WG-SA-CTRL controller unit, which allows the unit to operate independently for field events. This standalone ultrasonic wind gauge package uses World Athletics-approved ultrasonic technology to provide accurate wind speed and direction data. While the standard WG-Lynx wind gauge only operates when connected to a Finishlynx computer, the WG-Lynx-SA includes a handheld: controller unit with LED display. This added controller: allows timers to use the wind gauge without FinishLynx to capture, record, and read wind speeds for field events.
The wind gauge is housed in a weather-proof, corrosion-free polycarbonate casing. It is small, lightweight, and operates in harsh weather conditions. It also has no moving parts, ensuring maintenance-free operation. The anemometer package comes equipped with a controller, tripod, carrying case, and 60 meter serial connection cable for great mobility and easy setup.
