WIND SENSOR with 0-10V outputs

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes a combined Wind Speed and Direction Sensor manufactured by Instromet Weather Systems Ltd. The sensor is constructed from anodized aluminium alloy, uPVC, stainless steel, and polypropylene, making it lightweight yet robust. It is designed for easy installation on a mast with a diameter of 30-50 mm using a V-shaped clamp and bracket.
Specifications:
  • Wind Speed: Accuracy is 5% or 1.5 m/s, with a resolution better than 0.5 m/s and a threshold of less than 0.5 m/s.
  • Wind Direction: Accuracy is +/- 5 degrees typically, with a worst-case scenario of +/- 10 degrees. Resolution is generally less than 1 degree, with a threshold of less than 0.5 m/s.
Components and Installation: The sensor includes a precision conductive potentiometer for wind direction sensing. It requires orientation to North using the provided compass. The power supply needed is 12V DC, and the sensor outputs are transmitted via a 3-core screened cable (2m supplied).
Outputs:
  • Wind Speed Output: 20mA corresponds to 50 m/s.
  • Wind Direction Output: 4-20mA range, with 4mA equating to 10 degrees, 12mA to 180 degrees (South), and 20mA to 360 degrees (North).
Part Numbers: The document lists part numbers for different models: 357 1000 007 (Basic) and 357 1000 008 (Pro).

WIND SENSOR with 0-10V outputs-1

WIND SENSOR with 4-20mA outputs Part numbers: 357 1000 007 - Basic 357 1000 008 - Pro POINT NORTH WIND SENSOR The combined Wind Speed and Direction Sensors are manufactured from anodized aluminium alloy, uPVC and stainless steel with moulded polypropylene cups.The units are lightweight (less than 250 grammes) yet very robust. The sensors are designed to be mounted to a mast of between 30 - 50 mm diameter by means of a V -shaped clamp and bracket. This allows simple orientation of the sensor arm to North using the compass provided ; the only setting up required. Wind Direction is sensed by a precision conductive potentiometer which combines exceptionally long life with high sensitivity.
