Temperature Sensor
C5C-1263-2-SP-T
The C-3E16M8-11 Platinum RTD temperature sensor cartridge can be screwed directly into the bottom port on C5C series anemometers. The temperature sensor cartridge has a high accuracy 3 wire PT100 element.
When the cartridge is installed, the C5C anemometer will have two separate data cables. One cable will be used for switch pulse wind speed data and the second cable will be used for temperature data. Temperature sensor cartridges are color coded red and switch pulse cartridges for wind speed are silver to avoid any confusion during wiring.
The C-3E16M8-11 temperature sensor can be added to all types of C5C series anemometers.

Superior Design, Superior Performance
From the peak of Mount Everest to 300 feet below the ground, our anemometers are built for resiliency, precision, and durability.
