PCE-WS-A Anemometer with 4-20 mA Analog Output

Reference: PCE-WS A

GTIN (EAN): 4250348722423

Rugged wind sensor with 4-20 mA analog output, designed for reliable wind speed measurement in industrial environments, automation systems, cranes, solar installations, wind turbines and weather stations.

Description

This model combines high mechanical resistance, high-quality stainless steel bearings and a body made of high-grade technical plastic, delivering stable performance even under harsh environmental conditions. Its proportional analog output allows seamless integration into monitoring, control and safety systems.

Thanks to its 2-wire 4-20 mA analog output, the PCE-WS A can be connected to PLCs, voltmeters, indicators, alarm systems and other automation platforms, enabling real-time wind speed display and automatic responses when preset thresholds are reached. It is a practical and reliable choice for plant protection, operational control and continuous monitoring.

Key benefits

  • Reliable wind speed measurement for industrial and technical applications.
  • 4-20 mA analog output for easy integration into control systems.
  • Rugged industrial design for harsh environments and continuous operation.
  • Stainless steel bearings for long service life and stable performance.
  • Low power consumption for efficient operation.
  • Ideal for cranes, solar panels, wind turbines and weather stations.
  • Supports preset alarm triggering to enhance operational safety.
  • Reliable solution for industrial automation and environmental monitoring.

Recommended applications

The PCE-WS A is suitable for any application that requires continuous, robust and system-integrated wind speed measurement. It is especially recommended for:

  • Cranes and lifting equipment.
  • Solar installations and photovoltaic structures.
  • Wind turbines and renewable energy systems.
  • Weather stations and environmental monitoring.
  • Industrial automation systems.
  • Safety platforms with wind speed alarms.

Technical and functional advantages

One of the main advantages of the PCE-WS A is the combination of mechanical robustness and easy electrical integration. The unit is designed to perform reliably in environments where wind conditions directly affect operational safety, equipment performance and the need for real-time monitoring.

The use of stainless steel bearings improves durability and reduces wear during continuous operation. At the same time, the 4-20 mA analog output provides a simple and universal method for connection to industrial systems, without unnecessary communication complexity. The result is a rugged, professional wind sensor ready for critical applications.
