Anemometer ALLNET ALL3420 for IP building automation, wind speed measurement device

The ALLNET ALL3420 anemometer is a wind speed measurement device designed for integration with IP building automation systems. It supplies continuous, real-time wind speed data to HVAC, ventilation and facility management platforms, enabling environmental monitoring within automated building networks. The device is intended for permanent installation and remote monitoring to support indoor climate control and energy-efficiency strategies.

Advantages

The anemometer provides accurate, continuous wind speed measurement with networked IP connectivity for seamless data transfer to building automation systems. Its design supports remote monitoring and integration with common HVAC and facility management platforms, allowing centralized data collection and trend analysis. The unit is suitable for continuous operation and helps to inform automated control logic aimed at optimizing ventilation, reducing energy consumption and protecting building envelopes from adverse weather conditions.

Suitable for

• Integration with IP-based building automation and BMS platforms
• HVAC and ventilation control to adjust air exchange rates
• Facility management systems requiring environmental inputs
• Continuous outdoor or rooftop wind monitoring for automated shutters and louvers
• Energy management applications that use wind data to optimize system performance

Key specifications

• Measurement: wind speed sensing suitable for building automation
• Connectivity: IP network interface for remote data access and integration
• Operation: designed for continuous, unattended operation within automated systems
• Output: real-time data compatible with HVAC and facility management platforms
• Installation: suited for outdoor mounting on roofs, façades or masts where wind exposure is representative

How to use

Mount the anemometer at a representative location where wind exposure is not obstructed by nearby structures. Connect the device to the IP network according to the installer manual and configure its network parameters so the building automation system can read real-time wind speed data. Integrate the device into the HVAC or facility management platform to use measured values in control algorithms, alarms or logging functions. Verify data transmission and calibrate the reading if required by the management system.

Recommendations

For reliable measurements, install the unit on a stable mast or rooftop location with clear wind exposure, away from vents or other obstructions. Ensure regular inspection for debris and secure mounting hardware. Follow the building automation platform guidelines for polling intervals and data logging to balance responsiveness and network load.
