BBFM-V49K Ultrasonic Wind Speed and Direction Transducer

Side view of BBFM-V49K ultrasonic wind speed and direction transducer with flared circular body and cable

49 kHz ultrasonic path for wind measurement

The BBFM-V49K is specified for 2D and 3D ultrasonic anemometers, meteorological monitoring, ventilation airflow measurement and industrial duct monitoring. Its center frequency is 49 kHz ±5%, with a reference range of 0.35 to 8 m.

The half-power beam angle is 11.2° ±10% at -3 dB. This beam width and the required acoustic path should guide the spacing and alignment of transducers in the measurement assembly.

Integration checks

The transmit and receive electronics should be matched to a minimum impedance of 230 Ω ±20% and capacitance of 2400 pF ±20% at 1 kHz. Peak voltage must remain below 1500 Vpp.

Check the dimensional drawing for the mounting interface and alignment. Operation must remain between -40 and +80°C and at no more than 10 kgf or 1 MPa, while preserving the stated IP68 protection.
