A robust three-cup anemometer with 4–20mA current loop output, ideal for industrial monitoring and control applications. The all-aluminium construction provides excellent weather resistance, while the wear-free rotation technology ensures long-term reliability. Internal circuitry is protected against over-voltage and reverse polarity.
The 4–20mA signal output connects directly to PLCs, RTUs, and data loggers for automated wind speed monitoring. With a measurement range up to 50 m/s and ±3% accuracy, it's suitable for security and control applications in roads, buildings, ski resorts, theme parks, and more.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- reverse polarity protection
- A circuit feature that helps protect the board if power is connected the wrong way around. It matters because it can reduce the chance of damaging the breakout during wiring mistakes, especially in classroom or prototyping use.
- SCADA
- SCADA means Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, a type of system used to monitor and control industrial processes from computers or control rooms. SCADA compatibility matters if the controller will be part of a larger automation or monitoring setup.
