What this product isPrecise tracking of wind direction
The sensor measures wind direction across the full 0 to 360° range. The lightweight vane has low inertia and a low starting threshold, and the magnetically sensitive measuring element provides good linearity and stable operation in field conditions.
The technical values apply to the selected RS485 version for integration with the AGRO VEDA station.

InstallationMounting recommendations
- Mount the sensor on a stable support using the flange and four screws.
- The base must be horizontal so the vane can move freely.
- Point the orientation mark on the housing to the south using a compass.
- The connector diameter is Ø15 mm, and the location should be away from nearby obstacles and turbulence.
