Anemometer Wind Speed Sensor w/Analog Voltage Output

An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed, and is a common weather station instrument. This well made anemometer is designed to sit outside and measure wind speed with ease.

How to use Anemometer wind speed sensor

To use, connect the black wire to power and signal ground, the brown wire to 7-24VDC (we used 9V with success) and measure the analog voltage on the blue wire. The voltage will range from 0.4V (0 m/s wind) up to 2.0V (for 32.4m/s wind speed). That’s it! The sensor is rugged, and easy to mount. The cable can easily disconnect with a few twists and has a weatherproof connector.

Accurately and Reliably Measure

QS-FS Wind speed Sensor is specifically designed to accurately and reliably measure wind velocity under the adverse environmental conditions. Build-in Digital circuits arecapableofstrong RFI & EMI resistance and automatic temperature compensation. Voltageandcurrentsignals output by electromagnetic induction, generate a linear relation betweenacquiredvalues and horizontal wind speed .
