Hybrid XT Turbine Control Wind Vane #4715

Hybrid XT sensors are designed with a two-stage contamination protection system that prevents dust, dirt and water from damaging the bearings. The first level of protection is a fully sealed housing that minimises the ingress of contaminants. Inside, a sealed bearing cartridge system prevents contaminants from affecting the bearings. The result: extended bearing life and a recommended maintenance interval of 10 years - which means fewer maintenance calls on your turbines.

Icing and extreme climates are no challenge for Hybrid XT. The all-metal construction conducts heat to the entire anemometer, preventing ice build-up that could affect sensor function. Heat is radiated to the sensor head via a 96W heater, which provides sufficient de-icing performance.  With Hybrid XT, you can count on worry-free operation in all weather conditions.

Reliability

• Two-stage contamination protection extends sensor life
• Fully sealed sensor body minimizes dust, dirt, and water ingress
• Sealed cartridge bearing system prevents contamination from affecting the bearings
• Shock-resistant bearing mounting prevents damage caused by rough handling
• Rugged metal head prevents breakage due to accidental drops or icing
• Recommended maintenance interval of 10 years eliminates unwanted trips to your turbines

Icing Performance

Metal sensor body conducts heat to the whole sensor, preventing ice buildup and increasing turbine availability in icing climates
96W heating element provides ample de-icing power


Vane Accuracy

• Resolution of 0.35°
• Accuracy of ±1° with 100% factory calibration
• Unique twin tail design improves accuracy in off-axis winds, providing greater accuracy in the turbulent wind
• Patent-pending dynamic damping reduces erratic vane movement in gusty winds, providing superior wind tracking performance without increasing threshold
