Product Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The WFX Series Wind Direction Sensor is a high-precision wind direction detection device developed by Wtau Technology for professional meteorological monitoring and industrial safety fields. As theideal companion for the WTFB-100J Wind Speed Alarm System,<\/strong>it can measure ambient wind direction accurately and reliably, providing users with comprehensive wind condition information (wind speed + wind direction) to enable more scientific and precise safety decision-making and risk early warning. Its rugged and durable design can withstand various extreme outdoor environments, and it is widely used in multiple fields ranging from large construction machinery to precision agricultural monitoring.

\u200bCore Features<\/strong>\u200b<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \u200bPrecision Measurement in Dual Modes<\/strong>Two precision models are available to meet the needs of different scenarios:\n
      \n
    • \u200bWFX-2:<\/strong>Measures 16 directions with a resolution of 22.5\u00b0, suitable for general wind direction monitoring.<\/li>\n
    • \u200bWFX-4:<\/strong>Measures the full 0~360\u00b0 azimuth with a high resolution of 1\u00b0, suitable for professional fields with extremely high requirements for wind direction precision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • \u200bHigh Reliability and Environmental Adaptability<\/strong>Adopting high-quality materials and a sealed design with a high protection grade, the sensor operates stably over a wide temperature range of\u200b-20\u2103 ~ +70\u2103\u200b<\/strong>It is resistant to harsh industrial environments such as rain, snow and dust, ensuring long-term maintenance-free operation.<\/li>\n
    • \u200bFast Response & Low Starting Wind Speed<\/strong>Response Time(<0.5s),<\/strong>it captures wind direction changes instantaneously. The starting wind speed is as low as\u200b1m\/s\u200b,<\/strong>delivering a highly sensitive response to wind direction variations and ensuring the real-time performance and accuracy of monitoring data.<\/li>\n
    • \u200bWide Voltage Power Supply & Easy Integration<\/strong>It supports a wide\u200bDC 12~36V\u200b<\/strong>voltage input with strong compatibility, and can be easily connected to various data loggers, PLCs or Wtau\u2019s dedicatedWTFB-100J Main Control Unit<\/strong>to form a complete wind speed and direction monitoring system.<\/li>\n
    • \u200bWide Range of Applications<\/strong>It is applied in numerous fields from large-scale infrastructure to precision agriculture and animal husbandry, making it a truly versatile device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
