Davis Instruments – Turbo Meter
Technical details
Producer: Davis Instruments (USA)

Popular with sailors and boaters, the user-friendly Turbo Meter from Davis Instruments now features a larger, brighter display and new auto-off function. A convenient, pocket-sized device, the redesigned meter offers unmatched wind speed accuracy. Accurate within 3%, the highly-sensitive Turbo Meter´s freely-turning turbine rotates at a speed directly proportional to wind speed. Responding to the lightest winds, the turbine is suspended on sapphire jewel bearings. Its rotation is sensed by an infrared light beam, adding no friction.

For enhanced reliability, the resulting signal is processed electronically and shown on a special 3-digit display that is highly visible in any lighting. Designed for superior versatility, an improved switch selects between 4 scales, including knots, feet per minute, meters per second and miles per hour. The auto-off function saves batteries. Weather and shock resistant, the compact Davis Turbo Meter measures just 7cm x 12cm and weighs only 85g. Wrist lanyard, protective case and complete instructions are included.
