FT602-SM

The FT602-SM is a compact and lightweight ultrasonic wind sensor that measures wind speeds of up to 75m/s and provides full reliable 360° direction measurement. Thanks to FT Technologies’ revolutionary Acu-Res® technology, it delivers an excellent signal-to-noise ratio and high levels of data availability even under challenging environmental conditions.

Constructed from an industrial-grade polymer, the robust unit’s low profile makes it physically strong. It is sealed to IP67 standards, can withstand impacts of up to 50g, and also features a built-in compass, pressure sensor and tilt sensor.

The versatile unit is designed to be surface-mounted, with an adapter for easy pipe-mounting. It can be powered by 5V USB, and interfaces with industry-standard autopilots, data loggers, control systems and displays without the need for an external converter.

Weighing just 170g with a low profile, the FT602-SM is ideal for flight control and environmental monitoring applications on SWaP-limited drone platforms.
