The need to ensure safe working at height has been brought into sharp focus by the new Working At Height Regulations 2005. High wind speeds are a recognised risk factor when working at height on Ladders, Towers and Hydraulic Work Platforms, so the ability to quickly and accurately measure wind speeds can make a significant contribution to your safety.
The Windtronic 2 has a unique rotary cup sensor head giving it a major benefit in practical use - accurate readings of wind speeds even in the eddying/gusty wind conditions commonly experienced when working at height close to buildings. In our experience, fan-type anemometers fail badly in these real-world conditions because they need to be pointed directly at the wind to give an accurate reading.
The Windtronic 2's ability to log wind conditions over time also makes it ideal for measuring wind speeds above roof edges or round corners before exposing yourself to potentially dangerous conditions- simply hold it above your head (above a roof edge) or at arms length (past the corner of a building) , then bring it back in to read the average and peak results.
The large, clear LCD display shows four measurements simultaneously - a Beaufort scale bar chart, together with the current, average and maximum wind speeds in a choice of units:
KM/H (Kilometers per hour), Range 2.5 - 150 KPH
KTS (Knots), Range 1.3 - 81 KTS
M/S (Metres per second), Range 0.7 - 42 M/S
MPH (Miles per hour), Range 1.5 - 93 MPH
Just press on the left-hand "M" button until the desired unit of measurement is displayed - Windtronic 2 even remembers your last choice and automatically displays it the next time you switch it on!
Ideal for users of Scaffolding, Towers, MEWPs, Ladders or anyone who needs to quickly and accurately measure wind speeds in the workplace
