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. The sensor is engineered for minimal maintenance and extended service life, even in high-wind, dusty, and humid environments typical of utility-scale solar installations. Its stable signal output and robust mechanical construction help ensure precise directional data for optimizing tracker alignment, enhancing plant safety, and supporting dependable weather monitoring across diverse climatic conditions.
