Description

The SN-3000-FXJT-V05 wind direction sensor utilizes a precision potentiometer coupled to a low-inertia vane assembly. As wind rotates the vane, the internal mechanism produces a corresponding analog voltage output between 0 and 5V, with each voltage range representing a specific 45-degree sector (8 directions). This design ensures straightforward interfacing with most data acquisition systems.

Engineered for harsh environments, the sensor’s housing is made from UV-stabilized polycarbonate composite, offering high impact strength and resistance to corrosion, salt spray, and prolonged sun exposure. The integrated bearing system minimizes friction and stiction, enhancing measurement accuracy and long-term reliability in variable weather conditions from -20°C to +60°C.

Key Features

Robust Polycarbonate Construction: Shell provides excellent mechanical strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance for permanent outdoor installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the SN-3000-FXJT-V05 sensor and how do I interpret it?

The sensor provides a 0-5V analog output voltage. The voltage range is divided into eight segments, each corresponding to a 45-degree wind direction sector (e.g., N, NE, E, etc.). You can connect this output directly to the analog input of a microcontroller (like an Arduino) or a PLC's analog input module and map the measured voltage to the specific cardinal direction.

What power supply is required, and does it have protection features?

The sensor requires a stable 5V DC power supply. It incorporates essential protection circuits, including reverse polarity protection to prevent damage if the power wires are connected incorrectly and overvoltage protection to safeguard the internal electronics from voltage spikes.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes, the sensor is designed for long-term outdoor use. Its housing is constructed from UV-stabilized polycarbonate composite, which offers high impact strength and excellent resistance to corrosion, erosion, and prolonged sun exposure. The specified operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C covers most environmental conditions.

How many directions does this sensor measure, and what is its accuracy?

This model measures wind direction across 8 cardinal points (N, NE, E, SE, etc.). Accuracy is primarily determined by the low-friction, high-performance imported bearing system, which minimizes mechanical resistance and stiction, ensuring the vane responds sensitively and aligns accurately with the wind direction.
