Overview

The PCE-WS US2 ultrasonic anemometer is a compact 2D wind sensor designed for accurate wind speed and wind direction measurement using ultrasonic transducers. Because it has no moving parts, it avoids mechanical wear, minimizes maintenance, and delivers reliable long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.

Built for outdoor and industrial use, the unit features IP65 protection and strong immunity to RF interference and electromagnetic fields. With RS485 Modbus RTU communication, it integrates smoothly into PLC/SCADA systems and modern automation networks for real-time monitoring and control.

Its all-in-one, space-saving design measures both speed and direction in a single device—reducing installation time, wiring complexity, and mounting space compared to traditional cup anemometer + wind vane setups.

Typical applications

• Solar trackers (wind safety stow and performance optimization)
• Irrigation control systems and smart agriculture
• Greenhouse automation and ventilation control
• Wind turbines and wind resource monitoring
• Cranes and lifting equipment (operational safety)
• Weather stations and environmental monitoring

Key benefits

• No moving parts: reduced maintenance and improved uptime
