The Inspeed WindSwitch is intended for turning electrical devices on and off based on the speed of the wind. A microprocessor is used to measure the speed of the wind, and take a 5-second average. When this 5-second average exceeds the selected trip speed, a single pole, 2-position relay is activated. When the 5-second average wind speed drops below the selected trip speed, the relay is deactivated.
It is fully compatible with the Inspeed Vortex Wind Sensor (not included), which can be situated up to hundreds of feet away.
Also compatible with the Inspeed Display Kit (bicycle speedometer calibrated for wind speed).
The way it works is simple:
If you think you need more capability than this, have a look at the Wind Alarm & Switch

The Windswitch also works with a an OPTIONAL digital display (bicycle speedometer - see the Pole Mount) so that you can also monitor wind speed.
