MBMet Range of Weather Sensors
Economic Wind Direction Sensor - MBMet-110
Wind Direction Sensors
The Wind Direction Sensor is a rugged, field-ready instrument designed
to provide reliable 360° wind direction monitoring for solar plants, weather stations,
and industrial safety systems. It uses a high-precision wind vane with sealed mechanics
to ensure consistent operation in challenging outdoor environments.
With support for analog outputs (0–5 V / 0–10 V / 4–20 mA) and Modbus RTU,
the MBMet-110 integrates seamlessly with SCADA systems, data loggers, and solar
tracker controllers. Its IP65-rated housing, corrosion-resistant body, and compliance
with IEC 61724-1 make it a durable and accurate solution for long-term wind monitoring.
