CALYPSO - Ultra-Low-Power Ultrasonic wind meter (ULP STD) - 25m/s - RS485 (NMEA0183)
Ultrasonic is a wind meter that measures both speed and direction. This data can be logged via a free app.
SPEED RANGE: 25m/s
PROTOCOLS: RS485 (NMEA0183) / MODBUS
CALYPSO - Ultra-Low-Power Ultrasonic wind meter - 25m/s
Tiny and powerful, get instant wind speed and direction....or follow it! Built with Ultrasonic sensors, without moving parts to make it durable and dependable, the Ultrasonic is a wind meter that measures both speed and direction, this data can be logged via a free app.
Easy to mount, easy to use.
All you have to do is unwrap it, affix it to your preferred setup or one of our add-on accessories, download the app and you're ready! Its simplicity has led to many users finding their own ways of utilizing it, and our "open protocol" policy has definitely played a role. Many app developers and OEMs have created portable-compatible Ultrasonic hardware: weather apps, ballistics, marine, etc...it's a single component but multiple displays. Take a look at our mounting accessories: mast mount, pole adapters or tripods.
Performance
The ULP represents an important technology breakthrough condensing an extensive R+D investment that brings us to a new generation of ultrasonic wind meters. Both shape and firmware have been enhanced for an improved rain performance, being this point 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 0,25mA @1Hz (RS485), and 0,15mA @1Hz (UART).

NMEA 2000 output
The Ultra-Low-Power Ultrasonic wind meter can output an NMEA 2000 signal when using an NMEA Connect Plus.
- NCP HighEnd: Receives wind data from any ULTRASONIC wind meter within Calypso´s range of products. Converts NMEA 0183 wind sentences and/or Bluetooth signal into NMEA 0183 network and Bluetooth. It can also be used as range-extender using it as a Bluetooth-repeater.
- NCP W2000: Connects your Ultra-Low Power ULTRASONIC wind data to NMEA 2000 network. Allows the connection of 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time.
