From deployment to maintenance, TriSonica sensors are versatile and easy to use.
Compact
The LI-550 fits in the palm of your hand, measuring 9.1 x 9.1 x 5.2 cm. The LI-560 measures 10.2 x 10.2 x 24.9 cm.
Lightweight
The LI-550 weighs 50-67 grams, about the weight of a golf ball. The LI-560, at 225 grams, is the lightest 3D anemometer on the market.
Efficient
The LI-550 draws only 350 mW @ 5–36 VDC. The
No Moving Parts
The LI-550 and LI-560 can be stationed on fixed or portable towers.
