Analog output wind direction sensor Wind Direction Sensor With Analog Output

analog4-20 mAIP54

Product overview
The Wind Direction Sensor 3S-WD-I-A is a professional meteorological instrument for continuous measurement of horizontal wind direction (0–359°). It comprises a robust body and an aluminum vane and provides an analog 4-20 mA output for integration with dataloggers, gateways and PLCs. Supplied with mounting accessories and a 1 m UV- and weather-resistant cable, it is suited to environmental monitoring, PV plant assessment and documentation of wind-related damages.

Features / included

• Analog 4-20 mA output for direct connection to analog inputs
• Supplied with mounting kit and 1 m UV- and weather-resistant cable (LI2Y(st)C11Y, 2x2x0.22 mm²)
• Aluminum housing and vane for long-term field use
