What to Look For in Wind Speed and Direction Anemometer?
Wind is an important factor to monitor and predict weather conditions. Many industries such as weather forecasts service, amusement parks, sports, marine and aquaculture are heavily relying on wind speed and direction data to make decisions. From a business and safety perspective, having a reliable wireless anemometer to measure both wind speed and direction can help you ensure safety and maximum profits.
Does your current wind speed and direction anemometer have the right features to measure wind speed and direction effectively?
3 Must-Haves to Look For in Wind Speed and Direction Anemometer
1.Cable-Free & Easy Installation
Traditional cabled anemometer are no longer meeting the needs and demands of today’s complex project sites. Imagine if you need to measure wind speed and direction in a high-rise building construction or at a fishing farm, using a cabled anemometer is a lot of hassle.
Using a cabled-free or wireless wind speed and direction anemometer can help you collect and monitor wind data with ease. As it is cabled-free, it is easy to install, simply put the wind speed and direction sensor at desired area (normally it is best to install it at the highest point) and take the receiver display with you to receive real-time wind data.
Scarlet WL-21 wind speed and direction sensor has a mounting bracket with 3 heavy-duty magnets on the back for secured and flexible installation.
2. Live High Wind Alarm Warning
When it comes to monitoring wind speed and direction, accuracy and reliability are the two must-have criteria that no longer need to be questioned. However, when there is high-wind, how would you know? Will you keep staring at your receiver display all day long?
This is why looking for anemometer with automatic visual and audible alarm function is crucial. It will do all the hard work of being alerted, you can sit back and focus on your job. When there is high wind, it will automatically alert you.
Not many wind meters out there actually have this function, Scarlet WL-21 wireless wind speed and direction data logger not only has sound alarm but also visual led light warning to keep you alerted.
3. Compatibility Across Multiple Applications
Does your current wind speed and direction sensor can be used across industries? The high compatibility of Scarlet wireless wind speed and direction data logger with many industries make it easy to be used across multiple different applications.
From industrial use to marine, you can rely on just one tool to get wind data. Scarlet WL-21 Wind Data Logger can track multiple measurements ; wind speed and direction, wind chill, ambient temperature, barometric pressure, and Beaufort scale.
The data collected can then be exported to excel format for further wind analysis. This makes Scarlet WL-21 wind data logger particularly useful for businesses with various projects.
Choosing The Right Anemometer You Need
There are many anemometers to choose from depending on your needs.
Scarlet WL-21 can monitor wind speed and direction, wind chill, temperature, barometric pressure as well as have the ability to log and export data into excel format. It is suitable for many industries especially for marine and aquaculture.
Scarlet WR3-Plus Wireless Anemometer is suitable for you who look to measure wind speed. WR3-Plus is everyone’s favorite especially for crane safety and construction sites.
Know your needs to choose the right anemometer for you. Whether you only need simple wind speed direction meter or advance models with explosion proof function, Scarlet Tech offers you a range of choice for every need and budget.

How to Choose the Perfect Anemometer for Construction Site Safety?
There are many different types of anemometers in the market with different functionalities. Before choosing any of the anemometers, you have to get complete knowledge about it in order to meet your demands. Here is a glimpse of information about different types of anemometers.
Choosing anemometers is particularly important in situations where loads and equipment will be raised significantly above the ground or building, which is especially relevant when planning tasks involving crane operation and heavy lifting. Attaching an anemometer to the boom point is a sensible way to monitor the different wind speeds at operating altitudes for cranes.
Heat Stress
What is Heat Stress?
Heat stress is the effect that the thermal environment has on a person’s ability to maintain a normal body temperature. Physical work generates heat in the body which must be lost to the environment through sweating and evaporation. A hot or humid environment makes this more difficult and this can affect both mental and physical performance. Inability to get rid of body heat adequately may result in heat illness.
Workers who are exposed to extreme heat or work in hot environments may be at risk of heat stress. Exposure to extreme heat can result in occupational illnesses and injuries. Heat stress can result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes.
