The Wind Monitor MA is an accurate and reliable wind sensor specifically designed for the harsh marine conditions. The unique transducer generates a pulsed signal without electrical contacts or slip rings. The wind direction sensor is a rugged, molded wind vane. The angle of the vane is sensed by a precision potentiometer in a sealed chamber. All materials are carefully selected for corrosion resistance and maximum durability in the harsh marine environment. Ceramic bearings are used throughout. The unit is mounted on a standard 1-inch conduit. Separate signal conditioning circuits are available to provide voltage or current signals as required (see below). Each unit is supplied in a weatherproof junction box with mounting hardware.
