FT205EV Wind Sensors
– User Manual
The sensor has reverse polarity protection and is protected against miswiring of the intended cable and the power
supply rating. The cables are not shielded and EMI consideration is recommended.
3.1.3
Surge & EMI Protection
It is important to install the sensor and cabling with appropriate surge and EMI protection.
All connections from the wind sensor to any data acquisition equipment and power supply should run through
suitable Surge Protection Devices (SPD). This will suppress unwanted overvoltage transients present on the
signal or power lines. The surge suppression devices should conform to an appropriate standard (for example UL
1449 listed).
This sensor is designed for lightweight applications and does not have the enhanced surge/lightning protection of
advanced industrial sensors within the FT7 range.
