Industrial design for extreme environments
Congurable relay output
Stainless Steel bearings
Measurement range up to 180 km/h
Made in Spain

APPLICATIONS
PCE-WS CR has been designed to be used in industrial applications: cranes, solar panels, wind turbines, weather stations,
greenhouses, irrigation systems...
The wind sensor must be xed on a vertical position.
OPERATING
Up to 180 km/h of wind speed.
Output activation:
After a second*
Output deactivation:
Wind speed 1km/h*
Minimum duration of the output pulse:
5 seconds.
The output is not latched.*
*1 NO output by default. For a NC output, contact.
*2 Output activation temporary hysteresis is factory congured. For other
values, contact. (Rango: 0-2047 segundos)
*3 Output deactivation hysteresis is factory congured. For other values,
contact. (Range: 1-5 km/h)
*4 No alarm latching by default. For alarm latching, contact. (Latching time,
range: 0-254 minutes)
2
of wind speed over the set value.
3
below the set value.

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.
