L-806 wind cones provide visual indication of wind direction and velocity for pilots on small airfields, heliports, vertiports and as supplemental wind indicators near runway touchdown areas on larger airfields.
Features
• Perfect for small airports, heliports and vertiports
• Pre-assembled bearings and one-piece welded aluminum basket, and center hinged pole for easy installation
• Mounting options include: roof, wall, floor flange, 2″ NPT conduit or L-867 base plate (sold separately)
• Available externally lighted, internally lighted, or unlighted
• 50,000 to 100,000 hour LED lamp life, virtually maintenance free
• LED lamps consume 80-90% less power than halogen lamps
• Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatible obstruction light
• Solar Power Supply Option available; no more long underground wire and conduit installations
• Wind sock included, Size 1 (18″ diameter x 8′ long) sock (berry compliant) treated for rot, mildew, and water repellent
• Marine Treated Option (recommended for installations within 100 miles of saltwater) available for increased useful life in corrosive environments
• Powder coat painted international orange
• 4 year warranty on LED lamps, 2 year warranty on wind cone
• Designed to operate at any ambient temperature between -67°F (-55°C) and +131°F (+55°C)
• Designed to withstand winds up to 75 knots (86 mph or 140 km/hr)
• Windsock moves freely about the vertical shaft it is attached to when subjected to wind of 3 knots (3.5 mph or 5.6 km/hr) or more and indicates the true wind direction within ±5°
• Windsock extends fully when subjected to wind of 15 knots (17.8 mph or 28.7 km/hr)
