S-WCA-M003
Wind Speed and Direction Smart Sensor
| Overview |
|
The combination Wind Speed and Direction Smart Sensor provides average wind speed, highest three second wind gust and average wind direction in the measurement interval. Designed with a large wind vane area for high sensitivity, the Wind Speed/Direction Smart Sensor offers high accuracy at an affordable price. This model measures average wind speed, highest three second wind gust and average wind direction (unit vector average) and utilizes anodized aluminum and stainless steel construction for durability in adverse conditions. Wind speed sensor has fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic cups and shielded stainless steel ball bearings for fast response. Wind vane has metal bushings.
