The FirstRate FST200-205A is a precision-engineered anemometer and wind vane combined into a single, robust sensor. It utilizes non-contact magnetic sensing technology for both parameters, ensuring long-term reliability with no mechanical wear on the sensing elements. The integrated heating function is critical for deployments in cold climates, preventing ice formation that could impede the cup anemometer and vane movement.
Designed for continuous outdoor operation, the sensor’s die-cast aluminum alloy shell provides an IP67-equivalent level of protection against moisture and corrosion. Its internal circuitry is fully potted and shielded, offering excellent resistance to RF and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for industrial sites and exposed meteorological stations. The wide operating temperature range of -20°C to 85°C supports deployment in virtually all environmental conditions.
