Description

The NU200E12TR-1G2 is a high-frequency ultrasonic transducer engineered for wind speed and airflow detection. Utilizing a combined send-and-receive structure, it operates at a stable 200 kHz center frequency, generating a focused acoustic beam with an approximate 30° beam angle. This design enables precise, non-contact measurement of air velocity and direction within a defined range.

Constructed with a durable stainless steel enclosure and sealed to IP68 standards, the sensor is built to withstand demanding environmental conditions, including moisture, dust, and temperature extremes. Its high sensitivity and optimized electrical characteristics, including a 600Ω minimum parallel resistance and 150pF static capacitance, ensure robust signal integrity for integration into sophisticated monitoring and control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating principle of the NU200E12TR-1G2 sensor?

The NU200E12TR-1G2 operates on the ultrasonic time-of-flight principle. It transmits a 200 kHz acoustic pulse and measures the time for the echo to return. Changes in this time caused by wind (acoustic convection) are used to calculate wind speed and direction, providing a non-contact measurement method.

What are the electrical drive requirements for this ultrasonic transducer?

The transducer requires a drive signal up to 500V peak-to-peak at its nominal 200 kHz frequency. It presents a typical static capacitance of 150pF and a minimum parallel resistance of 600Ω. Proper impedance matching and a high-voltage driver circuit are necessary for optimal excitation and signal recovery.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes, its stainless steel construction and IP68 environmental sealing make it highly suitable for permanent outdoor installation. It is designed to withstand harsh conditions, including rain, dust, and temperature extremes from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring long-term reliability in weather monitoring applications.

What is the detection range and beam angle for this sensor?

The sensor has a practical detection range for wind measurement applications between 0.1 and 1 meter. It features a focused acoustic beam with an approximate 30° beam angle (at -3dB), which helps concentrate the ultrasonic energy and improve measurement accuracy by reducing interference from peripheral objects.
