The FT742 Surface Mount wind sensor is designed for OEM integration. It has an electronic compass and a thermostatic heater. The sensor has been integrated into UAVs, military vehicles, autonomous robots, handheld weather stations, CBRN detection units, drifter buoys, and vehicle-mounted and ship-based meteorological systems. The hard anodized aluminum body is highly resistant to electromagnetic interference, corrosion, sand, dust, solar radiation, and birds attack. With no moving parts to degrade or damage, it is also able to withstand significant shock and vibration. It is sealed to IP66 and IP67 standard. The sensor can be installed to ensure alignment with a standard reference, typically Magnetic North, or the integrated compass can calculate this automatically.
