Description

The SN-3000-FXA-N01-8 wind direction sensor utilizes a precision mechanical vane and bearing system to translate wind direction into a corresponding digital signal. Its internal smooth bearing assembly minimizes friction, ensuring accurate and responsive measurement even in low-wind conditions.

Housed in a high-strength aluminum alloy shell with a protective plastic spray coating, the sensor is built to withstand harsh environmental exposure from -40°C to +60°C. The IP65 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installation in meteorological, agricultural, and marine applications.

Key Features

  • Standard ModBus-RTU communication protocol for straightforward integration with SCADA, PLCs, and data loggers.
  • Anti-electromagnetic interference treatment ensures stable signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
  • All-aluminum construction offers high mechanical strength, hardness, and superior corrosion resistance.
  • Optimized weight distribution and low moment of inertia enable a highly sensitive and rapid response to wind shifts.
  • Wide supply voltage compatibility from 5V to 30V DC simplifies power system design.
  • Designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation in demanding outdoor settings.

Applications

  • Agricultural weather stations for greenhouse and farm microclimate monitoring.
  • Environmental monitoring networks for air quality and meteorological data collection.
  • Marine and port installations for on-vessel or dock-side wind direction measurement.
  • Aquaculture facility environmental control and storm warning systems.
  • Renewable energy site assessment and wind turbine performance monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output protocol of this wind direction sensor?

The sensor outputs data via an RS485 interface using the standard ModBus-RTU communication protocol. This allows for reliable, multi-drop communication over long distances, making it easy to integrate with industrial PLCs, SCADA systems, and data loggers that support Modbus.

What is the resolution of the wind direction measurement?

This model provides wind direction data in 8 distinct sectors, corresponding to a 45-degree resolution (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW). It uses a low-friction mechanical vane and bearing system to ensure accurate and responsive directional sensing.

Can this sensor operate outdoors in all weather conditions?

Yes, it is designed for permanent outdoor installation. The IP65-rated aluminum alloy housing provides protection against dust ingress and water jets from any direction. Its corrosion-resistant finish and wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) ensure reliable performance in harsh environments.

What power supply does the sensor require?

The sensor operates on a wide-range DC power supply from 5V to 30V. This flexibility allows it to be powered by common field sources such as 12V solar/battery systems, 24V industrial supplies, or standard 5V logic power from a controller.
