Wind Direction
This sensor is designed for the acquisition and electronic transmission of wind direction data. It is suitable for applications in the field of meteorology and environmental monitoring, e. g. for automatic weather stations, at airports, on research vessels, at industrial sites, for mobile measuring systems etc..
The vane turns through the influence of the wind pressure into the corresponding wind direction. Shaft made of stainless steel, guided in special covered precision ball bearings; housing made of polycarbonate.
Thanks to various simultaneously usable outputs there is a wide range of measuring tasks.
Also available:
Sensor with ringpotentiometer, for connection of recorders, data acquisition systems, COMBILOG etc.; winding gap 2° pointing to North direction.
