Product Description

1. Description

JW-FSX(YN04) Wind Speed Direction Sensor RS485 is an integrated wind monitoring sensor designed to measure both wind speed and wind direction in one compact device. With a three cup anemometer structure, wind vane design, RS485 Modbus RTU output, low power consumption, and durable ASA housing, it is ideal for automatic weather stations, smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, ports, airports, traffic weather systems, and industrial meteorology.

2. Product Overview

JW-FSX(YN04) Wind Speed Direction Sensor RS485 is a two in one wind monitoring device for professional meteorological and environmental applications. It uses a traditional three cup anemometer structure for wind speed measurement and a large wind vane design for wind direction detection.

The wind cups are made from high strength PC material and dynamically balanced for stable rotation. The wind direction part uses a large vane structure to capture wind direction changes effectively. Combined with an internal smooth bearing system, the sensor provides sensitive response, low rotational resistance, and reliable data acquisition.

With RS485 Modbus RTU communication, this integrated wind sensor can be easily connected to automatic weather stations, smart agriculture platforms, environmental monitoring systems, marine observation systems, airport weather stations, port monitoring systems, and traffic weather monitoring networks.
