Overview

Wind speed is measured with a helicoid-shaped, four-blade propeller. Rotation
of the propeller produces an AC sine wave signal with frequency proportional
to wind speed.
Vane position is transmitted by a 10 kΩ potentiometer. With a precision
excitation voltage applied, the output voltage is proportional to wind direction.
