Solutions
AQSystem has extensive experience of providing solutions for measuring wind conditions with the help of sodar technology. This continuous work has resulted in the development of the leading remote sensing product, AQ500 Wind Finder.
AQ500 Wind Finder can be used for several different purposes:
- Wind power measuring
- Air traffic measuring
- Environmental measuring
At the beginning of 2010 AQSystem has in just a couple of years delivered more than 170 units of the AQ500 Wind Finder to clients in 15 different countries around the world. The secret behind this success can be found in the diversity of the design.
AQ500 Wind Finder has:
- The ability to measure the wind profile up to 200 metres
- Good data availability
- A reliable sodar developed by AQSystem
- A robust and mobile design for easy deployment
- Been designed to operate in any weather conditions
- No need for building permits
- One switch start-up
The design of the AQ500 Wind Finder makes it a fully mobile system. The antenna and electronic units, together with power supply, are combined in a trailer that makes the system easy to install and support:
One power switch
The AQ500 Wind Finder will automatically start taking measurements when the power switch is activated. A normal installation will take less then one hour after arrival at the site.
Solar panels and power generator
The main power source is the solar panels. For northern countries the system is also equipped with a small generator as back-up during the dark months.
Intelligent power control unit
The control unit will sense the voltage level in the battery bank automatically and switch between the solar panels and the power generator as required. The 600 Ah battery bank allows the system to operate for a week without other power supplies. In addition, the unit will send SMS alarm messages in the unlikely event of failure.

Wind Energy Measuring
The AQ500 Wind Finder has since it introduction to the market become the leading remote sensing product for the wind energy industry in Europe. In just a couple of years we have delivered more than 170 systems that are being used in 15 different countries around the world.
Air Traffic Measuring
Wind shear is a sudden shift in wind direction and speed that’s disturbing the air-traffic. This condition has caused many serious accidents with over 500 fatalities during the past 20 years. To prevent this AQSystem offers solutions that are able to spot and predict when a wind shear will occur.
Software
AQSystem’s goal is to make your work easier. That’s why we are constantly developing our software to give you access to the latest data, where and when you need it.
Environmental Measuring
Air pollution has today become a global problem that effects every part of our environment. At AQSystems we can provide sodar solutions for continuous monitoring of the composition of pollutants at particular sites.
Support & Service
AQ 500 Wind Finder is a mobile and compact solution with a great range. Just look at our technical specifications and imagine the possibilities. All you need to do is roll out the trailer, turn the switch on and start to collect the verified data.
What Is Sodar?
Sodar, or “Sonic Detection And Ranging”, is a technology that makes it possible to measure wind profiles with the help of sound. It works in the same way as a radar system but sends out sound waves, instead of radio signal, for detection.
Technical Specifications
At AQS we know that no chain is stronger than its weakest link. That’s why we have established a complete service and support program to make sure that our solutions will get the job done.
