Description

The Pro-Range SN-3000-FXJT-N01 wind direction sensor employs a robust mechanical design with a three-cup anemometer configuration to accurately capture environmental wind vectors. Its polycarbonate shell is electroplated and spray-coated for superior corrosion and erosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance in marine, agricultural, and industrial settings. The internal high-precision bearing system minimizes friction, enabling sensitive and accurate directional readings.

This sensor outputs data through a configurable interface, supporting industry-standard analog signals (0-5V, 0-10V, 4-20mA) and digital communication via RS485 using the Modbus-RTU protocol. This flexibility allows for direct integration with data loggers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and custom microcontroller setups (Arduino, Raspberry Pi) using appropriate signal conditioners or RS485-to-UART converters.

Key Features

Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant polycarbonate composite material.
Features anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI) processing for stable signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Optimized mechanical design with low moment of inertia for fast and sensitive response to wind changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the available output options for this wind direction sensor?

The sensor provides multiple configurable output signals: digital RS485 communication using the Modbus-RTU protocol, and analog outputs including 0-5V, 0-10V, 4-20mA current loop, and pulse signals. You must specify your desired output type during ordering or configuration. The RS485 interface allows daisy-chaining multiple sensors on a single bus.

What is the power supply requirement and how do I wire it?

The sensor operates from a 10 to 30V DC power source with a typical consumption of 0.4W. Wiring depends on the selected output. For RS485, connect the A/B data lines along with power and ground. For analog (0-5V/0-10V/4-20mA) or pulse outputs, typically three wires are used: VCC, GND, and the signal output wire. Always refer to the specific pinout for your configured model.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes. Its housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant polycarbonate composite with an electroplated and spray-coated finish, making it rust-proof and highly durable against environmental erosion. With an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, it is designed for long-term, reliable performance in harsh outdoor conditions like coastal, agricultural, and industrial sites.

How do I interface the RS485 output with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

To interface the RS485 output with a 3.3V/5V logic device like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, you will need an RS485 to UART/TTL converter module (e.g., MAX485). Connect the sensor's RS485 A/B lines to the converter, and the converter's TX/RX lines to your microcontroller's serial pins. Then, use a Modbus-RTU library to read the wind direction data registers from the sensor's specified address.
