Ultra-Low-Power Ultrasonic Wind Speed & Direction Sensor | Wired Mini Anemometer
A compact ultrasonic wind speed and wind direction sensor engineered for ultra-low power consumption and continuous outdoor monitoring. Solid-state design with industrial outputs for weather stations, agriculture, infrastructure, and smart city deployments.
This wired mini ultrasonic anemometer measures wind speed and wind direction using ultrasonic time-of-flight technology, delivering accurate, real-time data with no moving parts. The solid-state architecture eliminates mechanical wear, reduces maintenance, and ensures reliable operation in rain and harsh outdoor conditions.
Optimised for battery and solar-powered systems, the sensor operates at exceptionally low current draw while sampling at 1 Hz, making it ideal for remote and off-grid installations. A rugged mechanical design enhances durability for permanent mounting on masts, towers, and structures.
Multiple industrial communication options—including RS485, 4–20 mA, and digital interfaces—enable straightforward integration with PLCs, RTUs, SCADA systems, data loggers, marine electronics, and IoT platforms.
