Product Details

Description

The WD-CL Wind Vane is a highly responsive and versatile wind vane. The vane body is made from stainless steel and anodised aluminium. Stainless steel shafts, bearings and fittings are used throughout. A precision potentiometer is coupled to the vane shaft to provide an analogue output proportional to the wind direction. A counterweight provides precision balancing of the tail assembly on the shaft.

The Wind Direction Vane can be supplied with a Potentiometer (10kohms) or 4~20mA Output.

4~20mA output is:
4mA at 0° North
12mA at 180° South
20mA at 360° North

It comes supplied on a Base Mounting Plate (as picture above), or can be attached to a L Bar or T Bar Equipment Mounting Arm.

This unit can also be added to one of our Fully Mounted Weather Stations or our Small and Medium Weather Systems.

WD-CL features

  • Range 0°~360°
  • Accuracy ±5°
  • Dead band 20° (350°~10°)

The wind vane has been manufactured from stainless steel and anodized aluminium so as to provide minimum maintenance and maximum reliability.
