Combined Wind Sensor ARCO SDI-12

(14582) ARCO SDI-12

Operating Instructions

Features and Advantages ARCO SDI-12

▪ More than 150 years of experience in classical meteorology
▪ Frictionless data acquisition using non-contact measuring

principle

▪ Highest reliability and longevity due to double high-perfor-

mance 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 com-

pared to individual devices.
