Anemometer Manufacturer Mechanical three cup wind speed direction sensor for Farming weather station

The integrated wind speed and direction sensor consists of a wind speed sensor and a wind direction sensor. 

The wind speed sensor adopts the traditional three-cup wind speed sensor structure, and the wind cup is made of carbon fibre material with high strength and good start-up.

The signal processing unit inside the cup can output the corresponding wind speed signal according to the user's needs. The wind direction sensor adopts a precision potentiometer and a low-inertia light metal wind vane to respond to the wind direction, with good dynamic characteristics.

Integrated wind speed and direction sensor application scenarios：

The product has the advantages of large measuring range, good linearity, strong resistance to lightning strikes, convenient observation, stability and reliability, etc.

It can be widely used in meteorology, marine, environment, airport, port, laboratory, industry and agriculture and transportation.

Troubleshooting ：                                

   1、The wind vane rotation is not working, the hysteresis is big. May be due to long-term use There are foreign objects in the bearing or the lubricant is used up. Please fill the instrument oil from the upper bearing of the sensor or send the sensor back to the company for oil injection.  The oil should be injected from the upper bearing of the sensor or the sensor should be returned to the company.

   2. When the analogue output is used, the display shows a value of 0 or not in range. 2. When the analogue output is displayed, the display shows a value of 0 or not within range. It is possible that the collector is not getting the correct information due to a wiring problem. Check that the wiring is correct and secure. Please check that the wiring is correct and secure.

   3、If not for the above reasons, please contact the manufacturer.

Wind speed is generally measured with anemometers, most commonly rotating cup and propeller types. When frequent wind speed measurements are required (such as for research applications), wind can be measured using the propagation speed of ultrasonic signals or the ventilation effect on the resistance of heated wires.

Another type of anemometer uses a pitot tube for measurement. The outer tube of the Pitot tube is exposed to the wind to measure the dynamic pressure and the wind speed can be calculated from the pressure difference between the outer tube and the inner tube.

Wind anemometer classification by principle: thermal anemometer, ultrasonic anemometer, impeller anemometer, three-cup anemometer, windmill anemometer, Pitot tube anemometer, etc.

According to the probe shape: pointing anemometer, non-pointing anemometer

Wind anemometer is an instrument for measuring air velocity, which can be widely used in various fields, such as electricity, steel, petrochemical, agriculture, energy saving and other industries, in daily life, many industries need to use the wind anemometer, such as fan manufacturing, sea fishing industry, pumping exhaust heating system, etc., are required to use the anemometer for wind speed, wind temperature, wind volume measurement to ensure normal operation.
