The D5CWind Vane has all of the great features of the larger D5 Wind
Vane but in a lightweight more compact pro le for ease of installation.
The D5C wind vane shares the same heavy duty stainless steel welded
vane and hub assembly for use in high wind speed applications or on
heavy equipment such as cranes, stackers, and ship loaders.
All D5C wind vane components are manufactured from Stainless Steel
bar stock for superior strength and corrosion resistance. The D5C vane
assembly rotates on two precision grade, shielded, stainless steel ball
bearings. These bearings can be replaced in minutes right in the eld
with a simple screw driver and without disconnecting the sensor cable
or the wind sensor from its mounting.
The D5C compact wind direction vane creates an analog DC voltage
output signal for directional degrees using a robust sealed 10K
potentiometer element.
Note:
Sensor mounts on .5”O.D. standard tubing.
