The device provides a high wind speed measurement range of 0-65m/s (0-145mph) with a starting threshold of 0.01m/s. The anemometer also has an optional de-icing system enabling the sensor. This allows it to operate effectively in a range of environmental conditions, such as at a high altitude or at sea. Gill recommends the product for use in aviation, marine and offshore applications.
