Abstract
A sensor assembly having a mounting frame with a central segment, and support platform coupled with the central segment. The support platform also has a platform hollow; and a top platform surface. There is a shaft disposed in the platform hollow. There is a circuit board positioned onto the support platform. The sensor assembly has a rotating member having a plurality of blades, the rotating member being disposed around the shaft.
Claims19
A sensor assembly comprising:
- a casing comprising a casing outer surface, a casing inner surface, a casing topside, a casing bottom side, and a casing opening;
- a mounting frame disposed proximate to the casing bottom side, the mounting frame comprising a central segment;
- a guard disposed proximate to the casing topside;
