    FAQ

    Wind direction sensors typically use a weather vane (wind vane) to point in the direction of the wind. An internal angle sensor (such as a Hall element, encoder, or potentiometer) detects the wind vane's rotation angle in real time and converts it into corresponding wind direction data.

    The main influencing factors include installation location, surrounding obstructions, wind vane resistance, sensor sensitivity, electrical interference, and extreme weather. Therefore, it is best to install it in an open environment.

    Due to its moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant structure and weather-resistant ABS engineering plastic, it can operate stably for several years under normal conditions. The specific lifespan depends on the operating environment.
