CWT-SWS-A Wind Speed Sensor – 0-60 m/s, Aluminum, 4-20 mA / 0-10 V / RS485 / Pulse

Description

The CWT-SWS-A is a three-cup wind speed sensor with an aluminum alloy shell, built for permanent outdoor mounting. On oil and gas sites it gives the wind speed input that H2S and gas-detection plans, flare and venting procedures, crane and lifting limits, and tank-top work permits depend on. Choose the output that matches your PLC, RTU or panel meter: 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, 0-10 V, RS485 or pulse.

Key points

• Measuring range 0 to 60 m/s with 0.1 m/s resolution.
• Wide 10-30 VDC supply and very low power (≤0.1 W), suitable for solar-powered wellsite RTUs.
• Bottom cable exit instead of an aviation plug, which the supplier says avoids seal aging and water entry.
• Cable and mounting screw kit included.

Notes

Wind speed only (no wind direction). Not rated for hazardous (classified) areas: mount it outside classified zones or follow your site rules. It is a monitoring input, not a safety device. To log and trend the reading remotely in read-only mode, see AutomationBotX Cloud (free up to 10 machines).
