Wind Direction Sensor

WDS100

Wind Direction Sensor

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.
