​Core functional features​

1. ​Dual-mode precise measurementTwo precision model options are provided to meet the needs of different scenarios:
   • ​WFX-2 typeIt measures 16 directions with a resolution of 22.5° and is suitable for general wind direction monitoring.
   • ​WFX-4 typeIt measures all-round angles ranging from 0 to 360° with a resolution as high as 1°, making it suitable for professional fields with extremely high requirements for wind direction accuracy.
2. ​High reliability and environmental adaptabilityMade of high-quality materials and featuring a sealed design, it has a high protection level and can withstand​-20℃ ~ +70℃​It can operate stably within a wide temperature range, is not afraid of harsh industrial environments such as rain, snow and dust, and ensures long-term maintenance-free operation.
3. ​Fast response, low start-up wind speedResponse time​<0.5s​It can instantly capture changes in wind direction. The start-up wind speed is as low as​1m/s​It is highly sensitive to changes in wind direction, ensuring the real-time and accuracy of monitoring data.
4. ​Wide voltage supply and easy to integrateSupport​DC 12~36V​Wide voltage input, strong compatibility, and can be easily connected to various data collectors, PLCS or dedicated micro and special devicesWTFB-100J main controllerForm a complete wind speed and direction monitoring system.
5. ​It has a wide range of applicationsFrom large-scale infrastructure to refined agriculture and animal husbandry, its applications cover numerous fields, making it a true all-rounder.

​Typical application scenarios​

• ​Lifting machinery and port terminalsFor large equipment such as tower cranes, gantry cranes and quay cranes, monitoring the wind direction can determine the direction of the wind load on the lifted objects, providing operators with more comprehensive safety information.
• ​Meteorological and environmental monitoringRailways, highways, power plants, ropeways, etc., are used for regional wind environment data collection and research.
• ​New Energy and AgricultureWind resource assessment for wind power stations, ventilation environment monitoring for agricultural greenhouses and livestock farms.
• ​Energy conservation monitoring and construction machineryBuilding ventilation optimization and safety protection for large-scale construction machinery (such as crawler cranes).
