Benefits and Features
New conformal coating helps protect sonic transducers in corrosive environments
Two-zone heating to keep both the transducers and body of the sonic anemometefrre e of snow and ice
Heating controller using environmental feedbackt o ensure power budgeting
Streamlined heater integration to ensure maintenance of sonic aerodynamics
Integrated data flagging, providing critical information when heaters were operational

Technical Description
The CSAT3BH provides integrated two-zone smart heating:
Zone 1 consists of the arms and strut.
Zone 2 provides heating to all the transducers.
The smart heating uses environmental conditions and a controller to apply variable heating to the sonic anemometerto keep the body and transducers free of ice and snow. The CSAT3BH is designed to prevent ice from forming on the arms and fingers of the system. The block has no heating in it. The CSAT3BH has a separate controller that is used to control the heating algorithm of the sensor. The controller requires a temperature/RH input. There is an ambient temperature and relative humidity sensor that is an standard for use with the controller, or the data can be provided through a user-supplied temperature/RH sensor.
