RS485 Ultrasonic Wind Speed and Direction Sensor
Product description
The small ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor is a wind speed and direction measuring instrument
developed based on the ultrasonic principle. It uses the transmitted sound wave pulse to measure the phase
difference at the receiving end to calculate the wind speed and wind direction. The sensor can
simultaneously measure the instantaneous value of wind speed, wind direction。It is widely used in wind
speed and wind direction measurement in the fields of meteorology, ocean, environment, airport, port,
laboratory, industry, agriculture and transportation.
Features
No angle limit, can measure wind speed and direction data at the same time
No moving parts, low wear and long service life
Using random error identification technology, it can ensure low discrete error of measurement even
under strong wind, making the output more stable
Adopt ABS engineering plastic case, light design, easy to install and disassemble
The product adopts 485 communication interface, standard Modbus-RTU communication protocol,
communication address and baud rate can be setting, the longest communication distance is 2000m
No maintenance and field calibration
