Robust wind sensor WDS100

wind vanecompact

WDS100 Wind Direction Sensor adopts a new magnetic induction design to detect the wind direction angle. The maximum tolerance is ± 3 °, and the output signal can be directly connected to the data acquisition system through RS485, or 7-bit Gray code, or 0 ~ 5V analog output. It can be widely used in meteorology, ocean, environment, airport, port, agriculture, transportation and other fields. WDS100 is compact and exquisite in shape, featured with a robust wind vane, an unique aero-cone design and efficient heating method, suitable for all kinds of harsh environments. Starting threshold: < 0.5 m/s Characteristic transfer function: Gray code output A=0.2815xB (A = angle value, B = binary code) Analog output A=0.072xU (A = angle value, U = analog voltage value [mv]) Accuracy: Better than ± 2 ° (RS485) Better than ± 3 ° (7-bit Gray code output) Better than± 2 ° (0-5V analog output) Resolution: ± 0.35 ° (RS485) ± 2.81 ° (7-bit Gray code) ± 1.00 ° (0~5V analog output) Outer diameter of the mounting pole mast: 50mm/52mm Operating power: Uin=5~24VDC 20mA (typical value) Heating power: 12VDC 1A (nominal value) Gray code output level: High state ≈ Uin-0.4 V Low state <0.7 V Operating temperature when heating: -50~55 °C (-58~131 °F) Storage temperature: -60 ~70 °C (-76 ~158 °F) Material: Housing: Aluminum alloy Wind vane: Black glass fiber nylon Dimensions: 296 (h) × 252 (L) mm Swept radius of wind vane: 172mm Weight: 500g
