Product description
Do you want to build a device that can detect the direction and pressure of air in the atmosphere?
The Three Cups Type Wind Speed Sensor Current Type (4 to 20mA) Anemometer Kit is an instrument that can measure the wind speed. It consists of a shell, wind cups, and a circuit module. The circuit module integrates photovoltaic modules, industrial microcomputer processors, current generators, and other components.
The sensor shell and the wind cups are made of aluminum alloy with special mold precision casting technology. They have very small size tolerances and high surface precision. The internal circuit is protected from external factors. The sensor is durable, weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and waterproof.
The cable plug is a military-grade plug that has excellent anti-corrosion and erosion prevention performance. It can ensure the long-term use of the instrument. The plug also matches the relevant specifications to ensure the accuracy of the wind speed measurement.
The circuit PCB is made of military-grade A material that ensures the stability of the parameters and the quality of the electrical properties. The electronic components are all industrial chips that have extremely reliable electromagnetic interference resistance. They can ensure that the device can work normally in -20°C to 50°C, with 35% to 85% humidity (condensation).
This product can be widely used in engineering machinery (crane, crawler crane, gantry crane, tower crane, etc.), railways, ports, docks, power plants, meteorology, cableway, environment, greenhouse, breeding, air conditioning, energy monitoring, agriculture, health, clean room areas, and other fields that require wind speed measurement and corresponding signal output.
Please connect the external power (DC 12-24V) and the Arduino wiring to the same ground, i.e., connect GND to Arduino as well as to the external power.
Connection
- Red ↔ 12-24V
- Black ↔ GND
- Yellow ↔ Voltage signal
- Blue ↔ Current signal
Pin Description
Note: This Anemometer produces the current output in the range of 4 to 20mA
Connection Diagram of wind Speed Sensor with Arduino:
Please make the external power (DC 9-24V) and the wiring to Arduino on the same ground, i.e. connect GND to Arduino as well as to external power’s GND. In the diagram, it was not indicated out.
Sample Code:
/* Connect the voltage signal wire to Arduino analog interface: Yellow Cable<---->A0 */ void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int sensorValue = analogRead(A0); float outvoltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0); Serial.print("outvoltage = "); Serial.print(outvoltage); Serial.println("V"); int Level = 6*outvoltage;//The level of wind speed is proportional to the output voltage. Serial.print("wind speed is "); Serial.print(Level); Serial.println(" level now"); Serial.println(); delay(500); }
