Wind speed and direction · 45 m/s weather option · 70 m/s wind-only option

RS485 Ultrasonic Wind & Weather Sensor: 45 or 70 m/s

Use ultrasonic wind measurement where moving cups and vanes are unsuitable for the station layout. Select a 45 m/s wind or weather configuration, or a 70 m/s wind-only configuration. Temperature, humidity, pressure and optical rainfall belong to the 45 m/s weather version.

  • The optical rainfall channel and a separate tipping-bucket rain gauge use different measurement methods.

Where it fits

Agricultural weather point

The 45 m/s version offers temperature, humidity, pressure and optical rainfall channels alongside wind on an RS485 connection.

Wind-only station

Select the 45 or 70 m/s wind range when only wind speed and direction are required.

Construction and outdoor monitoring

Provide wind readings to a site logger or monitoring system through the Modbus interface.

Questions about this equipment

Can the 70 m/s version include all weather channels?

The 70 m/s version measures wind speed and direction. The additional temperature, humidity, pressure and optical rainfall channels are available on the 45 m/s weather version.

Does the sensor have moving cups?

Wind speed and direction use ultrasonic measurement without moving cups or a mechanical wind vane.

What power is needed?

The supply range is 9–30 V. Wind-only consumption is ≤0.12 W; the weather version is ≤0.52 W.
