Product Overview
The WFS-2-2A Cup Anemometer is a high-performance, high-reliability core component for wind speed monitoring independently developed by Wtau Technology. Designed for accurate wind speed measurement in various severe industrial environments, it serves as a critical front-end component for theWTFB-100J Wind Speed Alarmand all types of safety monitoring systems. With its robust structure and precision measurement capability, it delivers raw, accurate wind speed data for hoisting equipment, ports and terminals, and outdoor facilities, acting as the first line of defense for safe production.

Core Features
- Wide-Range Accurate MeasurementAdopting a three-cup design with sensitive response, it accurately measures wind speeds in the range of0.1 m/s ~ 36 m/sand provides real-time data with a high resolution of 0.1 m/s.
- High Reliability and Environmental AdaptabilityDurably engineered, the product operates stably in extreme temperatures of-20℃ ~ +70℃and a humidity range of20% ~ 90% RH(non-condensing at 25℃), fully adapting to the complex outdoor climatic environments of ports, construction sites and other such locations.
- Fast ResponseBoasting an ultra-short response time(<0.5s),it quickly captures instantaneous wind changes and delivers timely data feedback to the system, ensuring the real-time performance of safety early warnings.
- Low Starting Wind SpeedWith a starting wind speed of less than0.1 m/s,it is extremely sensitive to light wind, ensuring no blind spots in monitoring and full coverage from light to strong winds.
- Flexible Installation & CompatibilityIt comes with a standard mounting base (Φ53) and an optional customized base (Φ75, customizable height), enabling easy installation on the booms, tower bodies of various cranes or building roofs. The wide operating voltage range ofDC 12~36Vallows for seamless integration with all types of data loggers, PLCs or alarm and control systems (e.g., WTFB-100J host unit).
