The Flat Front wind sensor is designed for quick and easy installation against a metal bar. Designed to last for up to 20 years, even in an offshore environment, the FT702 model is used by turbine manufacturers around the world. The FT752 reads speeds up to 90m/s. Highly resistant to electromagnetic and acoustic interference, it is also an ideal choice for smaller-scale wind turbines. For retrofit, it provides a single, compact solution to replacing an existing mechanical wind vane and anemometer wind measurement system. With no moving parts to wear out or degrade, turbine downtime is reduced, power output is increased and yaw control is more efficient.

Unique Acu-Res® Technology: The FT752 is the latest evolution of the FT7 series, incorporating a design legacy of 20 years and guaranteeing enhanced survivability. Developed for offshore typhoon, and hurricane regions for turbine control in the most challenging conditions. It measures wind speeds of up to 90m/s with FT’s exclusive Acu-Res® technology and now introducing Advanced Sensor Diagnostics for enhanced fault monitoring.
High Data Availability: The FT752 is maintenance-free, reducing operational costs while delivering exceptionally high data availability. It boasts low power-consumption with a high signal-to-noise ratio making it resistant to shock, vibration and EMI while ensuring reliable and accurate data acquisition. Additionally, the sensor is compact and lightweight for easy transport and handling.
Extreme Availability: The FT752 sets the standard for extreme survivability. It is rugged and shock-resistant, capable of withstanding the harshest environments. It boasts powerful de-icing capabilities to maintain optimal performance even in icy conditions. The corrosion-resistant design further enhances its durability, while lightning and surge protection safeguards against electrical disturbances, making it a reliable choice in the most demanding scenarios.
