Confusion hooking up Anemometer

Post by DCJimS »

Folks,

This is the description on your web page:

To use, connect the black wire to power and signal ground, the brown wire to 7-24VDC (we used 9V with success) and measure the analog voltage on the blue wire. The voltage will range from 0.4V (0 m/s wind) up to 2.0V (for 32.4m/s wind speed). That's it


Does this make sense? Can you be more clear on where to hook up black and where to hook up brown?

Thanks very much.

Jim

Reading one of their distributor's sites: cable negro(GND), cable cafe(VDD 7-24V), cable azul(salida de voltaje analogico) Black is ground, Brown is VDD & Blue is the analog voltage read. The brown wire can accept voltages of 7-24 VDC.

That's correct. The term 'power and signal ground' means 'ground for both the power and the signal connections'.
