Ensuring Safety with the FT-WFB5: An Explosion Proof Sensor

In high-risk flammable and explosive environments such as petrochemicals, coal mining, and oil & gas storage and transportation, the accurate monitoring of meteorological parameters is directly related to production safety and the protection of human life. The FT-WFB5 Explosion Proof Sensor is a professional monitoring device specifically designed for these special environments. It integrates five basic meteorological parameters—wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure—into a highly compact structure, enabling continuous 24/7 online monitoring of outdoor meteorological parameters.

The device features an intrinsically safe design with an explosion-proof rating of Exd II CT6. It provides comprehensive explosion protection from the housing to the internal circuits, allowing it to operate stably in hazardous areas filled with combustible gases or dust, effectively preventing accidents caused by equipment failure.

With its highly integrated design and no moving parts, the device fundamentally eliminates failures due to component wear and extends its service life. The housing is made of ASA engineering plastic, offering excellent weather resistance and anti-corrosion performance, ensuring stable long-term operation even in outdoor environments. The device is maintenance-free and requires no on-site calibration, significantly reducing operational and maintenance costs.

The FT-WFB5 supports multiple communication methods. It comes standard with an RS485 communication interface (MODBUS protocol), with optional interfaces including 232, USB, and Ethernet. It also supports 4G/5G and LoRa wireless transmission modules, with a minimum transmission interval of 1 minute. Equipped with a large-capacity storage module, it can store no less than 500,000 historical data records and supports offline data resumption after network interruption, ensuring data integrity.

The FT-WFB5 Explosion Proof Sensor has been widely used in special locations such as chemical plants, oil depots, tunnels, mines, petroleum drilling platforms, chemical industrial parks, and natural gas pipelines. In these high-risk environments, the device provides real-time monitoring of changing weather conditions, delivering accurate data support for safety production decisions and effectively preventing accidents triggered by meteorological factors.
