This is a wind direction sensor (wind vane) designed to measure the direction the wind is blowing. It typically uses a tail fin that turns with the wind, providing a full 360-degree measurement.
The sensor outputs its data using an RS485 digital signal, which is a reliable way to send information over longer distances and through noisy environments. This makes it a good choice for industrial uses or when the sensor is placed far from your data collection system. It commonly uses the Modbus RTU protocol for easy communication with other devices. The unit is built to be durable and weatherproof for outdoor use.
