Pro-Range SN-3000-FXJT-I20 Polycarbonate Wind Direction Sensor - 4-20mA + 8 Direction Output

This sensor provides a standard 4-20mA analog current loop output. Each of the eight wind directions corresponds to a specific current value within this range. To interface it, connect the sensor's output wires to a PLC analog input module, a data logger with a current input, or a microcontroller via a precision shunt resistor to convert the current to a measurable voltage.

The sensor operates from a 10-30V DC power supply. It features reverse polarity and overvoltage protection. It supports both three-wire (power+, power-, signal) and four-wire connection methods. Always refer to the product's wiring diagram for correct connections to your power source and data acquisition system to ensure proper operation.

Yes. The housing is constructed from UV-resistant, corrosion-proof polycarbonate composite designed for long-term outdoor exposure. Its operational temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and EMI-shielded electronics make it suitable for harsh environmental conditions, including coastal, agricultural, and industrial sites.

Accuracy is ensured by a low-inertia, precision-balanced vane assembly mounted on high-performance imported bearings, which minimizes rotational friction. This design allows for a sensitive and immediate response to wind direction changes, providing reliable 8-direction Vector Technics data. The robust mechanical construction prevents binding and ensures consistent performance.
