• Wind vane is a counter balanced, low threshold wind vane.
• A Linear, wire wound endless potentiometeris coupled to the vane by an SS shaft.
• As the vane turns, it rotates a stainless – steel shaft which is coupled to the potentiometer.
• This potentiometer has excellent linearity, very low starting torque.
• The north of the wind vane is marked on its body.
• This line is to be aligned with actual North with the help of aprismatic compass, at the time of installation.
• Sensor gives minimum resistance at North (i.e., 0 degree approximately 20 ohms).
• The resistance output is linearly proportional to the position of the wind vane
