The FT602-SM is a compact ultrasonic wind sensor that measures wind speeds of up to 75m/s, along with 360° wind angle, temperature, pressure, compass direction, tilt and acceleration. Constructed from an industrial-grade UV-stabilized polycarbonate blend, it is sealed to IP67 standards and is maintenance-free thanks to no moving parts.
Based on FT Technologies’ proprietary Acu-Res® technology, the innovative sensor delivers an excellent signal-to-noise ratio and high levels of data availability even under challenging environmental conditions such as shock, vibration and heavy rain.
The versatile unit is designed to be easily surface-mounted with three screws, and an adapter is provided for pipe-mounting. It can be powered by 5V USB, offers communications via RS422, RS485, UART, CANbus, and interfaces with industry-standard autopilots, data loggers, control systems and displays without the need for an external converter.
Weighing just 170g with a low profile, the FT602-SM is ideal for a wide variety of commercial and scientific vessels, leisure craft, and ocean buoys.
