No. AMS16-WP Airport Wind and Pressure Monitoring System

It is designed, to perform wind and pressure measuring on international, domestic and military airports in compliance with WMO standard No. 49 and the ICAO rules. Its main merits are: Big and rugged wind sensors, big and clear arranged display unit, digital data transmission by telephone cable or radio modem.



A typical wind and pressure measuring system consists of the following components:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10a 10b . 11.. Wind Display    Display Connecting Box   Outstation with sensor interface including triple pressure sensor Wind speed sensor   Wind direction sensor   Crossarm for wind sensors  optional: Needle printer for endless paper with parallel interface Mast, 10 m height, for wind sensors with span ropes, lightning protection, ostruction light at the top of the mast, security painted in red and white Telephone underground cable for data transmission     Pair of Radiomodems for long distance transmission    Pair of Yagi-directional antenna for use of radiomodems Windsensor-Heating AMS16-D AMS16-CB AST16-2 S278-T W20-1 W20-2 W20-3 AMS-P80   W20-4/A AMS16-TC1 AMS16-RM2 YAA2-2C W20-1/H and W20-2/H

Wind and Pressure Display AMS16-D

The airport wind and pressure display AMS16-D, distinguished by its compact design and clear display, based on a PC compatible embedded processor board (PC/104) and a 10 inch TFT colour display with 640 x 480 pixels, CFL background illuminated. The display shows wind values according to the ICAO rules and WMO standard No. 49 and has the ability to show additional values for QNH (air pressure on sea level)  QFE (air pressure on runway level) and TRL (transition level), if a pressure sensor is installed in the outstation.

Wind speed: Wind direction: Air pressure Airport warning: Speci alarm: Dimension: digital display of 2 minute or 10 minute average digital display of 10 minute maximum respectively Gust digital display of cross wind (speed component crosswise to runway) digital display of tail wind (speed component in direction of runway) bar graph for Instant. values 0...35 m/s or 0…70 kt or 0…140 km/h arrow on compass rose 1...360° digital 2 or 10 minute average respectively variation QNH (reduced to sea level) QFE (reduced to runway level) TRL  (Transition level) trouble of speed sensor trouble of direction sensor 10 min average value of wind speed > 20 knots gust > 30 knots variation of wind direction more then 60° during the last 10 min 10 minute average of wind speed changes more then 10 knots gust increases more then 10 knots VRB <> ASD 280mm x 225mm x 100mm (WxHxL)

The warning-, alarm- and error-message will remain on the display till it will be set back by the menu point “conformation”. The display AMS16-D receives its data by RS232 interface, depending of the method of data transmission. The wind values can be plotted as diagram on a printer by a parallel printer port with different paper speeds.
