Recommended replacement: Vaisala WXT530 Series Weather Transmitter.

The Vaisala WINDCAP® Ultrasonic Wind Sensor WMT52 incorporates decades of Vaisala experience in wind measurement using ultrasound to determine horizontal wind speed and direction. With no moving parts, the WMT52 has high sensitivity as the measurement time constant and starting threshold are virtually zero, making it superior to the conventional mechanical wind sensors. The WMT52 is designed to operate without periodic field calibration and maintenance saving you time and money.
The WMT52 is used by many Kenelec Scientific customers with their Dust Monitoring systems, linking it in to provide supporting data and therefore an explanation on where the dust comes from.
