FT-FB01 Explosion-Proof Weather Station: An Integrated Monitoring Solution for Enhancing Coal Mine Safety

Specialized weather stations are installed in coal mines primarily to address meteorological disaster risks that threaten coal production and to enhance mine safety levels. Weather phenomena such as heavy rain, floods, high temperatures, lightning, and strong winds can all directly impact normal coal mine operations and even trigger serious accidents. Through specialized meteorological monitoring, early warning information can be obtained promptly, allowing for protective measures to be taken in advance, thereby reducing the probability of mining disasters.

The FT-FB01 Explosion-proof Weather Station is an integrated meteorological monitoring device developed by Fengtu IoT specifically for flammable and explosive hazardous locations such as chemical plants, oil depots, and mines. This device integrates data collection, storage, and communication upload into a single unit, providing real-time environmental data support for safe production in coal mines.

Features and Technical Parameters of the FT-FB01 Explosion-proof Weather Station

The design of this weather station fully considers the demands of harsh industrial environments like coal mines. Its features include:

High-Protection Design: It adopts a "Five-Protection" design philosophy: anti-corrosion, explosion-proof, waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof. The sensor housing uses corrosion-resistant and oxidation-resistant ASA material, enabling it to adapt to the harsh conditions within mines.

Integrated Sensor: It integrates the monitoring of five meteorological elements—wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure—into a single sensor. The top cover incorporates hidden ultrasonic probes, effectively avoiding interference from rain/snow accumulation and obstruction from natural wind.

Monitoring Principle: Wind speed and direction are measured by emitting continuous frequency-modulated ultrasonic signals and measuring the relative phase.

Flexible Data Transmission: The device supports RS485 wired communication and can be directly connected to the mine's existing DCS system or central control room PLC for data processing and analysis. It also features data storage capability, with the standalone version capable of storing no less than 500,000 data entries.

Technical Parameters:

Wind Speed: Measuring range 0-60 m/s, Accuracy ±0.1 m/s.

Wind Direction: Measuring range 0-360°, Accuracy ±2°.

Air Temperature: Measuring range -40°C to 80°C, Accuracy ±0.3°C.

Air Humidity: Measuring range 0-100% RH, Accuracy ±3% RH.

Atmospheric Pressure: Measuring range 300-1100 hPa, Accuracy ±0.25%.

The device supports customization and can be flexibly configured with monitoring elements based on user needs. Furthermore, its installation is straightforward, requiring no specialized personnel for operation, and the manufacturer can provide remote guidance for completion.
