APPLICATIONS
PCE-WS V/A has been designed for industrial applications:
cranes, solar panels, wind turbines, weather stations…
It is usually connected to devices such as displays (see our
references PCE-WSAC 50 series or PCE-DPD-U), PLCs
or dataloggers to display the wind speed and/or set alarms
to predened values or to obtain records during predened
periods of time.
The wind sensor must be xed on a vertical position.

Disposal
For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants,
batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.
In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU devices must be properly disposed of in accordance with this regulation, we give
them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law. For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should
be disposed of in accordance with your local waste regulations. If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
Contact information for each country and user manuals in various
languages can be found on our website: www.pce-instruments.com
