ULP Pro User manual

1. Product overview
Thank you for choosing the ULP Pro Ultrasonic Anemometer from Calypso Instruments. This ULP Pro is the second model of our generation II, representing an important technology breakthrough condensing an extensive R+D investment. · Both shape and firmware have been enhanced for an improved rain performance. This is key for static applications such as weather stations. · Mechanical design has been revamped making the unit more robust and dependable. · We feel very proud to release a unit that requires under 0.4 mA of power at 5V, sampling at 1Hz. · Different output options available: RS485, UART/TTL and MODBUS.
Applications for the ULP485 are the following: Weather Stations | Drones Temporary Scaffolding and construction | Infrastructures and building | Cranes Spraying | Irrigation | Fertilizing | Precision Agriculture Smart Cities | Wild fires | Shooting | Scientific
2. Package content
The package contains the following: · One ULP Pro Wind Instrument plus 2 meters (6.5 ft) of cable for connection · Serial number reference on the side of the packaging. · A quick user guide on the back of the packaging and some more useful information for the customer. · M3 headless screw (x7)

3.4. Sensors

Ultrasonic transducers (4x) Sample rate: 0.5 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.

Upgradable RS485, MODBUS or UART/TTL configurator tool available on our website for downloading in the section Technical Information.

3.9 Product Material

The ULP Pro 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 inject molded.
3.10 Quality Control

4. Configuration Options

The ULP Pro can be set up by using a special configurator 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 Pro via either a USB to RS485 converter cable (in case of the ULP Pro RS485 or the ULP Pro Modbus) or via a USB to UART converter cable (in case of the ULP Pro UART). Connect all the ULP Pro 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 0.5 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.

6. General information
6.1. General recommendations
Regarding mounting the unit, align the north mark of the ULP Pro towards the north.

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 allowed 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 Pro 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.
The space around the transducers must be empty and clean. Dust, frost, water, etc... will make the unit stop working.
The ULP Pro can be wiped clean with a damp cloth being careful to not touch the transducers.
6.3. 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 of Calypso Instruments. Therefore, any harm caused to the ULP Pro by a mistake will not be covered by the waranty. Using assembly elements different from those delivered with the product will void the guarantee.
Changes on transducers position/alignment will avoid any warranty.
