Overview
Wireless Data Logger Anemometer
WL-11 is a high performance and cost effective wireless wind speed and direction (optional)data logger. Low
power consumption wireless technology is adopted to achieve 3 years of sensor battery life. Ctontinuously
measures and transmits data. The display unit receives data, calculates average values and stores them into the
SD card. Current data received from sensors, as well as part of the wind speed history are presented on LCD
display. All operating parameters can be set by using three buttons on the receiver unit.
Sensor units
Wind speed (WS)
The sensor will be switched on automatically when the anemometer cups revolve. It switches off 6 hours after
the anemometer cups stop revolving. Wind speed data will be transmitted by the wireless module.
Temperature sensor is located within the sensor. It can take up to 30 minutes to sensor reach the
surrounding air temperature. The measurement is received and displayed on the display unit.

DOWN
Receive data LED blinks when new data is received(every 2 seconds at normal reception). In case the display
unit has no data from sensor for over 30 seconds, it shows two dashes(-,-). Signal strength is numerically
shown in dB.
Log data : Please see the section “Data logger” for more details.
Setup device : Please see the section “Settings” for more details.
Range
The range is up to 400 meters (up to 1300 m with optional antenna) - at 10 m sensor mounting height and
when there is no obstacle between the sensor and the display unit. The signal can penetrate two to three
concrete walls.
Settings

Data logger
Auto logging
Data automatically stored to SD card every full hour in .txt format. with no user intervention is needed.
Each data has date & time stamp. Logging interval can be adjusted from 10 sec to 1 h (See section
“Settings” for more details).
Measurements
• Current, average and maximum wind speed
• Temperature
• Wind direction (optional)
Download data
It is recommended to extract data from SD card every month to prevent data from losing in case of low
battery in receiver or other factors. The downloaded data are suitable for processing in Excel.
Mark “NA” In logged data present missed wind data for marked interval.
Mark “nW” In logged wind direction data present undefined wind direction (no wind).
Handling, & Maintenance
Battery replacement
Sensor unit When the sign S starts alternate with battery icon, replace the sensor battery. Take off the
battery cover by turning sensors bottom part counterclockwise. Pull out the battery holder and insert
new 3.6 V AA Lithium battery.
Display unit Battery icon on LCD indicates the status of receiver batteries. Replace the battery if
necessary. Battery are placed under the lid at the backside of the display unit. Use 1.5 V AA lithium
battery to prolong the operating time.
