Description

The FST200-1000 wind speed sensor operates on a non-contact magnetic sensing principle, utilizing an internal precision bearing system to translate rotational speed from its three-cup anemometer into a precise electrical signal. This design ensures minimal mechanical wear and high long-term reliability. The conditioned 4-20mA analog output provides inherent noise immunity, making it suitable for installations over extended cable runs in electrically noisy industrial environments.

Built with a military-grade cable connection and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy shell, the sensor is engineered for continuous outdoor deployment. Its wide operational temperature tolerance and robust construction make it ideal for integration into permanent monitoring stations, from wind farms and port cranes to environmental weather networks, where consistent, accurate wind data is essential.

Key Features

  • High-precision, non-contact magnetic sensing mechanism for accurate wind speed measurement.
  • Rugged, die-cast aluminum alloy housing provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Standard 4-20mA two-wire current output ensures signal integrity over long distances.
  • Wide operating voltage range of 12-30V DC for flexible system power supply compatibility.
  • Internal imported bearing system guarantees smooth rotation and long-term measurement stability.
  • Designed for excellent resistance to RF and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Extended -20°C to +85°C temperature rating for reliable performance in extreme climates.

Applications

  • Wind turbine performance monitoring and control systems.
  • Tower crane and construction site wind safety monitoring.
  • Meteorological data collection for weather stations and environmental networks.
  • Port, wharf, and offshore platform operational wind condition monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power supply requirement for the FST200-1000 wind speed sensor?

The sensor operates on a wide-range DC power supply from 12V to 30V. This voltage powers the internal circuitry and generates the proportional 4-20mA output signal on the same two wires, making it compatible with standard industrial PLC analog input modules and data acquisition systems.

How do I wire and interface the 4-20mA output?

The sensor uses a simple two-wire connection. Connect the positive supply voltage (12-30V DC) to one lead, and the other lead to your data logger or PLC's analog current input. The sensor draws current proportional to the wind speed, with 4mA representing the minimum (0.5 m/s) and 20mA representing the maximum (50 m/s) of the scale.

What is the sensor's measurement principle and accuracy?

It uses a three-cup anemometer with a non-contact magnetic sensing system. The rotating cups induce a signal in a Hall effect sensor, which is converted to the 4-20mA output. The specified accuracy is ±3% of the full scale (50 m/s), meaning the maximum error is typically ±1.5 m/s across the entire operating range.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes. Its die-cast aluminum alloy housing, corrosion-resistant military-grade cable gland, and wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +85°C) are specifically designed for harsh, continuous outdoor environments such as wind farms, meteorological towers, ports, and construction sites.
