Saw this and thought it might help you.. http://cgi.ebay.com/R-M-Young-05103-Wind-Speed-Direction-Monitor_W0QQitemZ220158430352QQihZ012QQcategoryZ48 624QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem . I'm looking for one as well to place at the top of a tower. I'm going to wait a few months though, but that looks like a nice clean sensor.

The R M Young Wind display max is 100 MPH - is this correct ?? How do you go about recording 135 MPH for example (Assuming that the anomometer can survive this.)

Sure, it works in range 0-100mph with accuracy 1% of reading (as it stands in the brochure), but it measures above 100mph as well. Just its accuracy is the question then.

Oops, thats not good...as it says in the brochure you posted, it does not display wind speeds above 100mph, the value can be only between 0-100mph.

VOLTAGE OUTPUTS

The Wind Tracker offers calibrated voltage outputs for both wind speed
and wind direction. This feature allows the use of recorders and other
devices. Full scale voltage for each channel is 5.00 VDC.

So 5.00 VDC stands for 100mph which is max displayed speed.

Marko,

I have had it confirem that the RM Young display will go up to at least 137 mph and will not top out at 100mph.

Good job! as I have one on order now...

Thats great, I might get one of these once. Thanks for the info! Although I don't really get it how is it possible if it works on voltages? did they explain you how it works?

It will run from a car (13.8V) or from 110V~240V mains via an adapter
