Wind direction is displayed via eighthighly visible red LEDs. Wind speed is self-powered by the rooftop sensor, while thedirection LEDs are powered by the included ACadapter. High gust is saved with our uniqueGust Register, allowing you to monitor thehighest gust even if you are not present whenthe wind occurs. Includes 60' cables, ACadapter, wind speed & direction sensors andmounting hardware.Maestro $475.

Wireless Maestro has an electronic memoryof high wind speed and direction (instead ofusing Gust Register). Simply move the toggleswitch to the right to view high gust speedand left to view high gust direction. A built-inscale doubler and tripler lets you record windsup to 300 MPH! Includes AC adapter, windspeed & direction sensors, wireless transmitterand mounting hardware. Wireless Maestro $775.

Maestro 2-S is similar to Maestro, but with asecond MPH scale instead of the km/h scale.A toggle switch at the bottom of the casechanges wind speed readings from the 0-120MPH scale to the 0-40 MPH scale, providinga more dramatic display of lower wind speed.Gust Register can record gusts up to 120MPH and cannot be used with the 0-40 MPHscale.

Brass Indicators6 1/2" O.D., 23/4" Deep. Solid brass case, polished and lacquered (also available in chrome or satin nickel finish).Dials 4 3/4" O.D., spun aluminum with black numerals ormatte black with white numerals. Full 250° scale length,pivot and jewel movements, 300 microamps full scale, 450 Ohms resistance with 180°/second response rate.Wind speed Gust Register response rate 75% Vv/5 seconds.Reset knob clutch torque less than 1 ft-lb., spring loaded.

GeneratorsCup type: 7 1/2" swept diameter. Weight: 4 oz. Generates a sine wave AC voltage proportional to windspeed. At 102 MPH it spins at 1800 RPM, putting out 3.67 volts at 60Hz. Output is linearly proportional down to 8 MPH.Black Lexan housing and rotor are impervious to shock, vibration, sunlight and ice. All generators are calibrated to a master to be interchangeable. Thrust and journal bearings are both O-ring mounted, self-aligning to a Beryllium copper shaft, impervious to moisture and salt air. Bearings are self-lubricating Rulon®J for dimensionalstability under extreme conditions.

DistributorWind vane swept diameter 71/2". Housing and bearingssame as generators (above). Five solid brass 4-40 studterminals for antenna rotor type cable. Permanent magnetactuates eight hermetically sealed magnetic reed switches for long life. Diode logic system permits five wire operations.

Technical specifications

Air and Water SensorsAir: 3" overall height; 2" housing diameter. Probe is nickel-plated brass, 1/2" O.D., 1" long. Sensor element is a precision thermistor, a solid state device which changes its resistance inversely proportional with temperature from 150,000 Ohms at low end to 1,500 Ohms at high end. Interchangeability of thermistors is ±0.2°C; time constant 10 seconds. Water: Thermistor specifications identical to Air Sensor.Housing is solid bronze rod, bored to accept thermistor in its very end and potted wiring. 3" long, 3/8" O.D. Water sensor is intended for boats, pools and hot tubs. For any other application, please consult Maximum.

Current RequirementsInstruments requiring power are supplied with outlet-mounted transformers for 120-Volt AC household current.Where power is not available, most instruments are available to run off optional 12VDC power source. European voltages are available as an option.

Gust RegisterMaximum’s Gust Register (above) is a delicateneedle of gold-plated phosphor-bronze, photo etched for precision. Unique to Maestro andVigilant, it is the mechanism by which highest gusts are saved. Minute oscillations are inducedin the meter needle, which then moves the Gust Register by tiny “pile driver” thrusts. Perfectly concentric to the pivot and square to the dial, Gust Register is both an engineering gem and a work of art.
