Description

The SN-3000-FXJT-I20-16 wind direction sensor utilizes a precision potentiometer or encoder mechanism coupled with low-friction bearings to translate vane rotation into an electrical signal. This design ensures minimal rotational resistance for accurate measurement even in low-wind conditions. The sensor outputs both a proportional 4-20mA current signal, representing the 0-360° continuum, and 16 discrete switch outputs for cardinal and intercardinal directions.

Engineered for harsh environments, its polycarbonate housing provides excellent mechanical strength and UV resistance. The integrated electronics are protected against electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal stability for reliable data acquisition in applications ranging from meteorological stations to agricultural and HVAC control systems.

Key Features

  • High-accuracy 16-position wind direction detection with 1-position resolution.
  • Industry-standard 4-20mA current loop output for noise-immune, long-distance transmission.
  • Robust polycarbonate construction offering high impact strength and corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What output signals does this wind direction sensor provide?

This sensor provides a primary 4-20mA analog output proportional to the 0-360° wind direction. It also includes 16 discrete digital outputs, each representing a specific 22.5° sector, for simple cardinal direction detection in control logic.

What is the required power supply for the SN-3000-FXJT-I20-16 sensor?

The sensor operates from a 10-30V DC power supply. This wide input range makes it compatible with standard 12V or 24V industrial power systems and solar-powered field setups, ensuring flexible installation options.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes. Its housing is constructed from UV-resistant polycarbonate, which provides high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. With an operational temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, it is designed for reliable, long-term deployment in harsh weather conditions.

How do I interface the 4-20mA output with a data acquisition system or PLC?

Connect the sensor's 4-20mA output wires in series with your PLC's analog input module or a precision resistor (e.g., 250Ω) to convert the current to a voltage signal (1-5V). Ensure your DAQ system or PLC analog input card is configured to read a 4-20mA current loop signal.
