The ARCO SDI-12 is a robust, compact, and low-energy wind speed and wind direction sensor. Due to its low energy consumption, the ARCO SDI-12 is also particularly suitable for solar-powered weather stations.

  • Low current consumption: < 4 mA at 12 VDC
  • Particularly low starting values: 0.3 m/s
  • Quick and easy installation
  • Wind vane and 3-arm cup rotor exchangeable
  • SDI-12 Protocol · Version 1.4
Regular price $3,079.10 AUD + GST

All sensors of the ARCO series are very robust, compact and extremely reliable. Due to its low energy consumption, the ARCO SDI-12 is also particularly suitable for solar-powered weather stations.
For a long service life we use corrosion-resistant materials: The housing and the measuring elements are made of seawater-resistant aluminium and stainless steel. The cup rotor, the wind vane and the housing are anodized. The ARCO SDI-12 is a high quality yet cost effective solution.
Features:
- Frictionless data acquisition using non-contact measuring principle
- Highest reliability and longevity due to double high-performance bearings and special alloys
- Corrosion resistant surfaces for long service life
- Particularly low starting value (0.3 m/s)
- Measuring range from 0.3...55 m/s
- Quick and easy installation thanks to pipe mounting and M12 plug connection
- Wind vane and 3-arm cup rotor exchangeable
- Increased water tightness due to water traps integrated in the sensor
- SDI-12 Protocol, Version 1.4
- Low current consumption (< 4 mA at 12 VDC)
- The compact design of the sensor reduces the effort required for components and their assembly times compared to individual devices.
