4-20mA Model WE550 Wind Speed Sensor

The Wind Speed Sensor is constructed of high-impact materials, ensuring its durability and ruggedness even in severe weather conditions. The wind speed indicator has a very low threshold, and it responds accurately to subtle changes in wind speed. The sensor is mounted on 25' of marine grade cable, with lengths up to 500' available upon request. The sensor output is 4-20 mA with a two wire configuration. The electronics are completely encapsulated in marine grade epoxy within a rubber sleeve.

Product Description


The wind speed sensor or anemometer produces a sine wave voltage signal with a frequency that changes linearly with the wind speed. The frequency is transformed into a 4-20 mA sensor signal output.
