Detailed description

The FT Technologies FT016 1.5m cable is an essential accessory, specifically designed for integrating the FT602-SM lightweight ultrasonic wind sensor. Featuring 12 conductors, it ensures reliable electrical and data connections, essential for fully utilizing the multiparameter capabilities of this advanced sensor.

FT602-SM System Integration and Performance

This cable is the vital link enabling the FT602-SM sensor to transmit its wind speed measurements (range 0 to 75 m/s, resolution 0.1 m/s, accuracy ±1% at 25 m/s) and wind direction (range 0 to 360°, resolution 1°, accuracy ±1° at 25 m/s). The FT602-SM sensor stands out for its patented Acu-Res® technology, which guarantees a robust signal and data availability even in the presence of shocks, vibrations, or heavy rain. The 12-conductor configuration of the FT016 cable is sized to support the sensor's multiple communication interfaces (serial, UART, CANbus, RS422, RS485) and data formats (ASCII, NMEA 0183, NMEA2000), as well as its power supply (5 – 24 VDC). The sensor also integrates acoustic temperature measurement (-20 to +60°C, accuracy ±2°), pressure (540 to 1200 hPa, accuracy ±0.25%), and tilt (-40 to +40°, accuracy ±7.5°), all of which are transmitted via this cable.

Robustness and Versatility for Demanding Environments

Unlike generic cables, the FT016 is specifically adapted to the requirements of the FT602-SM sensor, whose construction in UV-stabilized industrial-grade polycarbonate and IP67 sealing provides shock resistance up to 50g and an operating temperature range of -20 to +60°C. The cable helps maintain system integrity in applications where the sensor is used, including drones, unmanned systems, military vehicles, tactical weather stations, commercial and scientific vessels, and ocean buoys. Its design ensures a reliable connection for a sensor individually calibrated in a wind tunnel, a guarantee of precision for demanding users.

« FT Technologies FT016 Wiring: Ensuring Reliable Wind Data for the FT602-SM »

The FT Technologies FT016 1.5-meter cable is a critical component for any deployment of the FT602-SM ultrasonic wind sensor. Its specific 1.5-meter length is often ideal for compact installations or integrations in small to medium-sized masts, where excess cable length could be a drawback in terms of management and weight. With its 12 conductors, this cable is not merely a power connection; it carries the complex data from the FT602-SM sensor’s Acu-Res® technology, including wind speed, direction, temperature, pressure, and tilt, via interfaces such as NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000.

As an installer, using the manufacturer’s original cable is essential to ensure system compatibility and longevity. The data transmission specifications of a sensor like the FT602-SM, with an update rate of up to 10 Hz and high precision, require cabling with electrical characteristics (shielding, impedance, resistance) perfectly suited to the task. A non-compliant cable could introduce signal loss, interference, or reduced accuracy, compromising sensor performance. This cable is specifically designed to maintain signal integrity in marine or industrial environments where the sensor is exposed to shocks up to 50g and temperatures from -20 to +60°C. For installations requiring longer lengths, it is imperative to use extensions or cables of the same quality and specification to avoid degrading the performance of the multiparameter sensor.
