New WR-3 Plus Wireless Anemometer: The Breakthrough Innovation in Construction Safety

We rebuilt the previous WR-3 Wireless Anemometer model into something better and more powerful. Here are a few things you should know:

Wind and height are the two of the most common challenges in implementing workplace safety in the construction industry. In 2015, more than 100 people were killed, and 394 others were injured in a tragic crane collapse in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, making it one of the deadliest crane collapse incidents in modern history, second only to the New York crane accident in 2008. 

The incident was found to be related to strong winds, which could have been prevented if there was proper wind monitoring in the first place. Wind monitoring can be achieved using simple tools, such as anemometers. With today’s construction landscape that continues to thrive in innovation and complexity, traditional wired anemometers offer certain limitations when it comes to height and length. This is where the wireless anemometer fills the gap. If you are using a wireless anemometer already, then you should know that it  offers benefits that the traditional wired anemometer does not.

To solve these challenges, we are excited to introduce the WR-3 Plus—a powerful compact wireless anemometer for industrial applications and long-term environmental monitoring.

More Advanced, Less Hassle

The new WR-3 Plus is simple yet powerful. It consists of two main parts; a wind sensor (transmitter) and a portable receiver. The system measures and displays not only wind speed but also Beaufort scale, wind chill, temperature, and atmospheric pressure with high accuracy.

The WR-3 Plus now includes a new data logging function to store data up to one year. Compared to the previous model, the transmission distance has increased to 500 meters by using the latest wireless technology. Users are instantly alerted by visual and audible alarms if wind speeds exceed a threshold. With the help of live alarm warning, you don’t need to constantly monitor and worry whether there is high wind. Simply set it up and let WR3 Plus notify you automatically.

Here are the new improved features you should know:

  • Live Wind Load Warning: Users no longer need to worry about high winds. Receive instant alerts with a high-volume alarm when wind speeds exceed the set limit. The receiver’s screen display colors will be highlighted and changed based on safety standards. 
  • Data Logging: Backed by customers’ feedback, we have developed a data logging function into the new WR-3 Plus, making data tracking easier for you. Users can access the following data:
    • Live/Average/Maximum Wind Speed
    • Beaufort Bar Graph
    • Wind Chill
    • Ambient Temperature
    • Atmospheric Pressure
  • Industrial-Grade Wind Speed Sensor: The new IP-67 all-weatherproof wind speed sensor is built for harsh and demanding environments. It is designed to be long-lasting and low-maintenance for any industrial use you can imagine. From construction to the marine industry, the new WR-3 Plus is the go-to wireless anemometer across industries.
  • Wind Speed Data Recording: Data helps you to make crucial decisions; we help make it happen with the data recording function. The 64MB built-in memory can record wind speed, temperature, and air pressure data up-to 1 year. Easily export historical wind data into Excel format using micro USB output. Open it anywhere on a tablet or computer–simple and helpful.

All the new features are designed to combine many advanced functions in one device. Once you use the new WR-3 Plus, you will never look back at the old traditional anemometer. The new WR3 Plus is the anemometer you can trust–one device conquers all.
