The WS Series compact weather sensors are designed for reliable and maintenance-free measurements in hydrology, meteorology and weather-dependent applications where durability, precision and operations in different moderate climatic conditions and wind speed up to 100 mph (45 m/s) are required.
The compact devices allow for single or all-in-one measurements of up to 6 parameters such as
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Air-pressure
- Radiation
All sensors have been tested and approved against following environment conditions:
- High and low temperature ranges
- Humid weather (humidity and ingress protection)
- Windy and coastal environments (vibration and salt spray sustainability)
- Wind speed measurement up to 100 mph (45 m/s)
- Low costs of installation and total costs of ownership
- Corrosion-resistant polycarbonate material, solid structure and rugged design
- Product portfolio to suit best to automatic weather monitoring
- Build-In data processing and algorithm
- Universal and selectable interfaces and protocols such as SDI-12 or RS 485 (MODBUS-RTU, ASCII, NMEA 0183)
- Easy integration into 3rd party systems
- Low power consumption for solar power packages
- No moving parts and maintenance-free with high IP grade 66
- Sustainability and high accuracy at entire wide temperature operating range from -40 to +158°F (-40 to + 70 °C) (non-heated versions)
- Metric and imperial units
- Unheated versions: Operating measuring and deployment temperature range from -40 to +158°F (-40 to +70 °C)
WeatherSens WS is especially suitable for hydro-meteorological and agrometeorological applications by one sensor design and construction, e.g. for
- Automatic weather stations - hydro
- Smart cities, urban areas and municipalities
- Road weather monitoring
- Power grid transmission stations
- Agrometeorological stations such as ETo or irrigation stations
- Photovoltaic farms
- Building automation
- Airfield and helicopter landing platforms
