Wind Sensor – Accurate Wind Speed & Direction Monitoring

Wind Sensor – Accurate Wind Speed & Direction Monitoring

Wind Speed & Direction

Model : SWA8600

  1. Wind speed Sensor: 3-Cup Anemometer.Sensing : 3 cup assembly mounted on friction free shaft and
    coupled to a chopper.
  2. Starting threshold : 0.5 meters/sec .
  3. Range : 0 to 60 meters/sec .
  4. Distance constant : 2.5 Meters
  5. output proportional to wind Built in line driver
    to drive long cable > 50 ohms loop resistance.
  6. Accuracy : Better than 0.5 m/s up to 10 m/s + 2% FSD
  7. Diameter of cup : 50 mm.
  8. Diameter of cup assembly: 165 mm.
  9. Construction of sensor body : Brass housing and stainless steel shaft .

Principle Of Operation

SUNPRO anemometer is a fast-response, low-threshold opto-electronic anemometer. When rotated by wind, a chopper on the anemometer shaft interrupts an infrared light source, generating pulses from a photo transistor. The signal is amplified and fed through a line driver. The frequency is proportional to wind speed & direction manufacturers in pune. The anemometer is provided with a 3-pin connector for easy replacement and comes with 10 meters of shielded cable.

For operation at low temperature, the wind sensor can be supplied with a built-in heater. The Anemometer can be supplied with a 20W 24V DC built-in heater for operation at low temperatures.

Wind Direction Sensor

Model : SWD 8601

  1. Wind Direction Sensor: Wind Vane.
  2. Sensing: Vane coupled to the linear endless potentiometer.
  3. Starting threshold: Better than 0.5 meters/sec.
  4. Range : 0 to 357 degrees (3 degrees electrical gap in the
    Potentiometer
  5. Output : 0 to 5 kilo-ohm resistance ( 0 to 357 degrees).
  6. Resolution: 1 degree.
  7. Accuracy: +/- 3 degrees.
  8. Operating Temperature : -40 to + 60 degree Celsius
  9. Construction of sensor body: Brass housing, stainless steel shaft and
    aluminum van

Principle Of Operation

Wind vane is a counterbalanced, low-threshold wind vane. A Linear, wire-wound, endless potentiometer is coupled to the vane by an SS shaft. As the vane turns, it rotates a stainless steel shaft, which is coupled to the potentiometer. This potentiometer has excellent linearity, very low starting torque.

The north of the wind vane is marked on its body. This line is to be aligned with the actual North with the help of a prismatic compass at the time of installation. The sensor gives minimum resistance at North (i.e., 0 degrees approximately 20 ohms ). The resistance output linearly proportional to the position of the wind vane.
