HydroLynx - Model 5050WD -Wind Direction Sensor

The 5050WD is the standard sensor used on the Model 5081 Packaged Weather Stations for measuring wind direction. The vane assembly, which responds to changes in wind direction, is attached to the shaft of a potentiometer. The potentiometer translates the wind direction into a 0-5 Vdc linear output when a 5 Vdc reference voltage is applied across the potentiometer.
