Etesian’s patented, wireless, and self-powered wind sensor is perfect for crane, fountain, nautical, and any other at height application. Just set it up once and never look back. Etesian Wind Sensors are powered by the very wind that they are measuring. An internal generator provides all the necessary power. No batteries to change or charge. No waiting for sunrise or the clouds to burn off. No worries from lightning strikes that could damage your expensive base unit.
Etesian Wind Sensors are the worldʼs only* self-powered and wireless anemometers. All the expense and hassle of wiring is eliminated. Damage to your logger or controls from lightning is eliminated. The internal generator provides all necessary power. Never a battery to replace.
