FAQs

What is an integrated wind speed direction sensor?

An integrated wind speed and direction sensor is a device capable of simultaneously measuring wind speed and wind direction. The RY-FSX integrated wind speed and direction sensor combines a three-cup anemometer with a wind vane, providing precise real-time wind data for weather stations.

How does the RY-FSX Wind Speed and Direction Sensor work?

Wind direction sensor working principle:This sensor calculates wind speed by measuring the rotational speed of the cups via pulse output. Simultaneously, the vane rotates with the airflow to determine the wind direction angle. An internal signal processor converts these signals into digital data for use by monitoring systems.

What is the principle behind the wind direction sensor?

The wind direction sensor operates based on a vane that freely rotates with airflow. Its position is electronically detected and converted into azimuth angles ranging from 0° to 359.9°, ensuring precise wind direction measurement.

What are the application scenarios for wind speed and direction sensors?

Wind speed and direction sensors are widely used in meteorological stations, environmental monitoring systems, airports, ports, ocean observation, agricultural meteorology, and traffic monitoring—any field requiring reliable wind data.

Is the RY-FSX Wind Speed and Direction Sensor suitable for outdoor environments?

Absolutely. Constructed with a high-strength ASA housing, imported precision bearings, and corrosion-resistant design, this sensor ensures stable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.

Does the integrated wind direction sensor support digital output?

Yes, this integrated wind direction sensor supports RS485 (Modbus RTU) output, enabling seamless integration with data loggers, weather stations, and automated monitoring systems.
