Skywatch Xplorer 2 Wind Meter (Anemometer)
The SKYWATCH Xplorer series provides highly accurate environmental measurements in a compact, mobile and waterproof unit. With the push of a button, you'll have access to wind velocity, air temperature, wind chill and water temperature so you'll always know exactly which size kite and which thickness of wetsuit to use. Gusty winds can fool even experienced kiteboarders into misestimating the wind's speed, but nothing fools the Xplorer 2.
WINDSPEED:
Current and Maximum
Range: 0.7 to over 94mph/1.1 to over 150km/h
Units: km/h, mph, m/s, fps, knots
Resolution: .01 unit
Accuracy: +/- 3% from 2.0 to 94 mph (3.1 to 150 km/h)
Measuring Cycle: Twice per second
Balanced impeller is integrated into wind meter
The impeller is magnetized, producing a magnetic field when rotating which is measured internally
Damage to the impeller is unlikely due to the small opening, but repair can be performed
TEMPERATURE:
Ambient Temperature: current, windchill, maximum, minimum and water
Units: °F, °C
Range: -58°F to 212 °F / -50°C to 100°C
Resolution: 0.2°F, -0.1°C
Accuracy: +/- 0.5°F / +/- 0.3°C
Measuring Cycle: Twice per second
Internal thermometer is attached to the stainless steel back
Temperature adjusts quickly, although drastic temperature changes may require several minutes for accuracy
Temperature is read quickly by touching the back to an object of the same temperature
Water temperature is read quickly by submerging the unit briefly
Designed for consumer and professional use, the Xplorer does not include complicated and seldom-used features such as downloading and storing.
