Sensors Ultrasonic transducers (4x) Sample rate: 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz The ULP has been designed to avoid any mechanical parts to maximize reliability and minimize maintenance. The transducers communicate between themselves two by two using ultrasonic range waves. Each pair of transductors calculates the signal delay and get information about both wind direction and wind speed. ULP User manual 04/09 3. Technical specifications 3.5 Wind Information · Wind speed · Wind direction Sample rate: 1 Hz Wind Speed Range : Range: 0 to 45 m/s (1.12 to 100 mph) Accuracy: ±0.1 m/s at 10m/s (0.22 at 22.4 mph) Threshold: 1 m/s (2.24 mph) Wind direction Range: 0 - 359º Accuracy: ±1º 3.7. Mounting accessories A wide range of accessories can be used with the device. The ULP can be mounted on a flat service and screwed on to different sizes of poles. It can also be used with an adaptor for poles of 39 mm. * Please, visit our website and check all the accessories available and their possible combinations. 3.6. Easy mount - 3 x M4 lateral female tripod thread - 3 x M4 base female tripod thread UNC 1/4" - 20 It can be mounted either on a plate (inferior screws) or on a tube (lateral screws). Noth mark position Make sure the north mark is perfectly aligned to the north. ULP User manual 05/09 4. Configuration Options 3.8. Firmware Upgradable via RS485, MODBUS or UART/TTL 3.9 Product Material The ULP is engineered to be a robust device with minimal downtime. This new shape has been designed for optimum water spillage which implies lower probability of ice formation. Frost might affect measurements if it blocks the wave path. The input wires are protected by Transient NVoEWlta!ge Suppression (TVS) diodes. The instrument body is built with Polyamide. 3.10 Quality Control The ULP can be set up by using a special configuration app made by Calypso Instruments. In order to use the app, you should download the configurator from our website at www.calypsoinstruments.com. To configure your device, connect the ULP via either a USB to RS485 converter cable (in case of the ULP RS485 or the ULP Modbus) or via a USB to UART converter cable (in case of the ULP UART). Connect all the ULP cables except for the brown cable to the converter. Insert the USB into the computer, open the configurator app, select the configuration wanted and follow the instructions on the screen to finish the configuration. For more information, please watch the following video. https://bit.ly/3DuA7lM *USB converter cables available on calypsoinstruments.com baudrate: output rate: output units: 2400 to 115200 (8n1) bauds 0.1 to 10 Hertz m/sec., knots or km/h Every single unit is calibrated with accuracy, following the same calibration standards for each one in a wind tunnel. A Q/C report for both wind speed and direction is generated and kept in our files. Standard deviation is checked to guarantee that each unit has been calibrated to the highest standards.

Data are under big-endian criteria. The first byte, the more valuable one to be represented. E.g. If 2 bytes are read, byte 0 and byte 1, we will read the first byte as 0x05 and second byte 0x0A. 0x05 00000101 0x0A 00001010 The first byte is marked in orange. The more valuable one.

General information 6.1. General recommendations Wind Speed Gust is that value that measures abrupt and sudden change in wind speed. Regarding mounting the unit, align the north mark of the ULP towards the north. Regarding mounting the unit, the mast head has to be prepared for the mechanical installation. Align the North mark of the Ultrasonic Ultra-Low-Power to the north. Make sure to install the sensor in a location free from wind perturbation, usually on the mast head. Make sure to install the sensor in a location free from anything that obstructs the flow of wind to the sensors within a 2 meter radius, for example, the mast head on a boat. Other important aspects: - Do not attempt to access the transducers area with your fingers; - Do not attempt any modification to the unit; - Never paint any part of the unit or alter its surface in any way. - NOT allow to be submerged fully or partially in water. If you have any questions or doubts, please contact us directly. 6.2. Maintenance and repair The ULP does not require great maintenance thanks to the lack of the moving parts in this new design. Transducers must be kept clean and aligned. Impacts or incorrect impulsive handling may lead to transducers misalignment. 6.2. Maintenance and repair (continuation) The space around the transducers must be empty and clean. Dust, frost, water, etc... will make the unit s top working. The ULP can be wiped clean with a damp cloth being careful to not touch the transducers. 3. Warranty This warranty covers the defects resulting from defective parts, materials and manufacturing, if such defects are revealed during the 24 months after the purchase date. Warranty is void in case of non-following the instructions of use, repair or maintenance without written authorisation. Any wrongful use given by the user will not incur in any responsibility on part of Calypso Instruments. Therefore, any harm caused to the ULP by a mistake will not be covered by the warantee. Using assembly elements different from those delivered with the product will void the guarantee. by the warantee.
