Product Description

1. Description

JW-WDSS2(HY05) ultrasonic anemometer delivers accurate 2D wind speed and direction measurements with fast response, robust IP66-rated construction, and built-in high-power heating for extreme environments.

2. Product Overview

JW-WDSS2(HY05) Ultrasonic Wind Speed and Direction Sensor is a high-precision, 2D ultrasonic anemometer designed for reliable wind monitoring in industrial, marine, and environmental applications. Using advanced ultrasonic time-of-flight technology, it measures wind speed and direction with fast response and ±2% accuracy over a 0–60 m/s range. The sensor features a robust stainless steel and aluminum alloy housing with IP65 protection, capable of withstanding harsh conditions including high-altitude cold, ice, and extreme weather.

Equipped with a built-in high-power heating module (up to 120 W), JW-WDSS2(HY05) ensures consistent operation in sub-zero temperatures. Communication is flexible with standard MODBUS protocols over RS485/RS232, optional SDI-12, and 4–20 mA analog outputs. The sensor also outputs WMO-compliant average wind and gust data, making it ideal for meteorological stations, highways, ports, wind farms, offshore vessels, and automatic weather stations.

Compact and maintenance-free, JW-WDSS2(HY05) is engineered for long-term durability and seamless integration with environmental monitoring platforms, offering a dependable solution for real-time wind measurement in any demanding setting.
