Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the 3-cup anemometer housing shell made from?
A: The anemometer housing shell is made from durable ABS plastic, which offers excellent impact resistance, UV stability, and a lightweight build — making it ideal for outdoor weather station applications.
Q: Is this anemometer cup shell compatible with all weather stations?
A: This 3-cup shell is designed as a universal replacement or DIY component and is compatible with a wide range of standard anemometer sensor assemblies. We recommend verifying the mounting dimensions (15 × 6.2 cm) against your specific sensor before purchasing.
Q: Does this include the full anemometer sensor or just the cup housing?
A: This listing includes only the 3-cup anemometer housing shell (the rotor/cup assembly). The electronic sensor, base unit, and wiring are not included. It is a mechanical replacement part or DIY component.
Q: How does the 3-cup design improve wind speed accuracy?
A: The 3-cup design distributes rotational force evenly and maintains consistent spin in turbulent or multi-directional wind conditions. Low rotational resistance in this shell means the cups begin spinning at lower wind speeds, improving sensitivity and measurement accuracy.
