Wind Direction Sensors
Product Descriptions
1. Wind Direction – Standard type – direct and analog output
Wind direction sensor with direct signal output. These wind vanes are ideal when requirements calls for low thresholds and good accuracy even at very low wind speed. DNA310-311#C uses a Hall-effect encoding system. DNA314#C is equipped with a potentiometer to reduce power consumption in very low energy applications. DNA311#C is also equipped with heaters to avoid ice formation on its body in very cold environments.
Wind direction sensor with analog signal output. All models use a Hall effect encoding system. DNA811-815 are equipped with heaters to avoid ice formation on its body in very cold environments.

2.Wind direction – Compact type
LSI LASTEM produces a wide range of meteorological sensors addressed to their own data acquisition devices as well as to third party data management systems.
LSI LASTEM high-quality sensors, the synthesis of almost 40 years of experience in environmental technology instrumentation, have been carefully designed and produced to guarantee reliable and accurate measurements, easy and fast installation and very low maintenance.
With compact size and high mechanical strength, this sensors are particularly suiited for use in strong in applications, where long term reliability without maintenance is required, as in wind farms and wind turbine surveys. Ideal also for portable and light AWS and for wind-alarm applications where wind speed and direction are both to be considered. On this regard, LSI LASTEM data loggers can detect specific alarm conditions and open digital outputs when wind speed is over a programmable value and wind direction is coming from a defined angle.
