TBSWV1 SDI-12 Wind Vane

Versatile Wind Vane

The TBSWV1 is a versatile wind vane with SDI-12 interface. It provides two operation modes. It can either measure momentary wind direction, or measure average wind direction over a configurable logging period. It is based on a rugged aluminium body with polyester coating. Precision, low friction bearings, a stainless steel shaft, a rotating rain guard and a breather vented cable grommet make it a very reliable device. The use of a magnetic rotary encoder as sensor element eliminates the disadvantages associated with reed switches used in conventional wind vanes.
