<p>A hazardous gases and wind direction sensor includes a housing having a hazardous gas sensor, which sends an output signal to a transmitter at a predetermined frequency upon detecting a hazardous gas. Wind detection is provided by eight LEDs aligned with eight corresponding photocells disposed in the housing, where each photocell represents a topographical direction and is adapted to provide an output signal associated with a particular wind direction at a predetermined frequency. A disk is coupled to a rotatable shaft and positioned between the LEDs and photocells. The shaft is coupled to a wind direction indicator such as a windsock. The disk has a slot sized to allow light to pass from one of the LEDs to its corresponding photocell, which sends an output signal to a switching circuit in the transmitter. The switching circuit enables the output signal at a predetermined frequency to be transmitted to a receiver.</p> |
