Verlässliche Daten über das ganze Jahr, auch in kaltem Klima
Überblick
Das CSAT3BH ist ideal für Flux Kunden, die Stationen in kalten Klimazonen betreibenen. Seine smarte Heizung liefert genau die Wärme, die nötig ist, um den Sensor frei von Eis und Schnee zu halten, so dass das ganze Jahr über verlässlich gute Daten erhalten werden können, auch in kalten Gebieten.
Das CSAT3BH kann die Heizleistung regulieren — im Gegensatz zum typischen an/aus. Außerdem werden in den Daten Flags gesetzt, um zu kennzeichnen, wann die Heizung eingeschaltet war, ein Vorteil beim Post-Processing der Daten.
Design und Messprinzip des CSAT3BH sind dasselbe wie beim CSAT3B 3-D Ultraschall-Anemometer mit integrierter Elektronik. Die Spezifikationen des CSAT3BH sind dieselben wie beim CSAT3B in Hinsicht auf die Windmessungen.

Technische Beschreibung
The CSAT3BH provides integrated two-zone smart heating:
- Zone 1 consists of the arms and strut.
- Zone 2 provides heating to all the transducers.
The smart heating uses environmental conditions and a controller to apply variable heating to the sonic anemometer to keep the body and transducers free of ice and snow. The CSAT3BH is designed to prevent ice from forming on the arms and fingers of the system. The block has no heating in it. The CSAT3BH has a separate controller that is used to control the heating algorithm of the sensor. The controller requires a temperature/RH input. There is an ambient temperature and relative humidity sensor that is standard for use with the controller, or the data can be provided through a user-supplied temperature/RH sensor.
Physical
The CSAT3BH controller is a polycarbonate enclosure sized 20.32 x 25.4 x 15.24 cm (8 x 10 x 6 in.). The enclosure uses military connectors for incoming power, heaters, temperature sensors, temperature/RH, RS-485(2), and USB.
Electrical
The heaters are controlled on two zones and require 150 W at full power. The controller controls the heaters by increasing or decreasing the voltage to get the appropriate wattage to keep ice from forming on the sensor.

-
When the heaters are on, a flag is sent to the data logger to help the user determine if the heaters have an effect on the data.
-
The heaters can be controlled manually only through a programming change of the CR300 Datalogger used to control the heaters.
-
The CSAT3A, CSAT3AH, CSAT3B, and CSAT3BH—like other sonic anemometers—measure wind speed along the sonic path using ultrasonic signals. If the salt spray blocks the sonic path, the sonic anemometer will not be able to make measurements. The same is true if a thick layer of salt is deposited on the transducer faces.
-
Campbell Scientific does not offer any mounting booms or hardware that enable easy and frequent positioning of the sonic anemometer sensor head. This type of hardware must be provided by the user.
-
The CSAT3A, CSAT3AH, CSAT3B, and CSAT3BH are calibrated over temperature for the effects of transducer delays on the wind speed, and to a lesser extent, for the speed of sound measurements.
There is no NIST-traceable standard for ultrasonic anemometers.
-
No. The offset is a function of temperature and time. Once a year, spot-check the sonic anemometer wind offset using the procedure outlined in the CSAT3B instruction manual. If the measured offset is outside the specification, return the sensor to the factory for calibration. To request a returned material authorization (RMA) number, follow the steps listed on our Repair and Calibration page.
-
The sonic anemometer measures three-dimensional wind in a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system. From these measurements, use trigonometry to compute the wind flow angle, horizontal angle, and wind speed.
-
The sonic anemometer offset specification is ±8 cm/s. Therefore, it cannot be used in an application where the expected wind speed is in the range of ±5 cm/s.
-
Ultrasonic anemometers are unable to make measurements if the sonic path is blocked. The path may become blocked by water that puddles on the lower transducer face or droplets that hang from the upper transducers. Sonic wicks, which come with all sonics, can be placed on the transducers to wick away moisture from the faces of the transducers. Ensure that these wicks are removed during cold conditions to prevent ice from building up around them.
