1. Product Overview
The EC-8SX Integrated Wind Speed & Direction Sensor perfectly combines a wind speed sensor and a wind direction sensor into a single, compact unit. This integrated design makes installation and carrying more convenient while eliminating the need for on-site wiring and separate mounting, significantly reducing installation complexity.
Manufactured using a precision die-casting process with specialized molds, the sensor features high mechanical strength, excellent weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and waterproof performance. It is lightweight, has a low starting threshold, and exhibits low inertia, making it highly responsive to wind changes.
The EC-8SX is widely used in various fields, including:
Engineering machinery (cranes, conveyors, gates, towers)
Railways, ports, docks, and power plants
Meteorology, tunnels, environment monitoring
Greenhouses, livestock farming, HVAC and energy-saving control
Agriculture, medical facilities, and cleanrooms
It accurately measures wind speed and direction and outputs corresponding signals for data acquisition and system control.
2. Measurement Principle
Wind Direction Measurement (Photoelectric Type)
The wind direction sensor adopts a low-inertia lightweight metal vane that responds to wind and drives a coaxial code disc to rotate. The disc is encoded in Gray code and scanned by a photoelectric sensor to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the wind direction.
Wind Speed Measurement (Photoelectric Type)
The wind speed sensor uses a low-inertia carbon fiber cup rotor that rotates with the wind and drives a coaxial slotted disc. The disc is scanned by a photoelectric sensor, generating pulse signals whose frequency corresponds to the rotational speed, allowing easy data collection and processing.
3. Key Features
Integrated design – wind speed and direction in one unit, easy to carry and install
Strong corrosion resistance and weather durability
High measurement accuracy, wide range, and excellent stability
Low power consumption and strong anti-interference capability for long-term stable operation
Wide power supply compatibility with good linearity and long signal transmission distance
