The D5-1263-1 Wind Direction Vane was speci cally designed for
locations with high wind speeds or in harsh industrial environments. All
D5 Series Wind Vane components are manufactured from solid stainless
steel bar stock for superior strength and corrosion resistance. The wind
vane assembly utilizes a heavy duty stainless steel vane blade which is
welded to the vane shaft for superior strength. The vane rotates on two
precision grade, shielded, stainless steel ball bearing, which can be
easily replaced in minutes right on site without disconnecting the
sensor cable or the sensor from its mounting.
The D5 Series Wind Vane has a sealed 10K potentiometer element which
creates an analog DC voltage output signal for directional degrees. All
D5 wind vanes have our unique quick connect lever lock mounting
system. This system allows the sensor to be easily adjusted to True North
during the initial installation or removed in seconds if required.
Note:
Sensor has a 1.0” Female NPT Connection for mounting.
