Automated weather station can come with datalogger

By Paul Dvorak | May 17, 2010

WS600-UMB compact weather station measures air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation intensity, precipitation type, precipitation quantity, air pressure, wind direction, and wind speed. Relative humidity is measured by a capacitive sensor element while a precision NTC measuring element measures air temperature.

The WS line of weather stations (including the economical WS200 ultrasonic anemometer) are now available with built in SDI-12 communication protocol, says LUFFT USA. Its weather stations and anemometers are now plug and play with any SDI-12 ready datalogger.  Lufft Intelligent Weather Stations and Anemometers still have the same function of an intelligent digital sensor, but now with more flexibility. For example,  the company offers its sensors with a Campbell Scientific datalogger as a new turnkey wind and weather assessment package.

Dataloggers from Campbell Scientific, widely used throughout the wind industry, can be programmed using Loggernet for use with Lufft sensors, which are also available with heaters.

Intelligent wind sensors from LUFFT USA are reliable and maintenance-free ways to measure wind and weather. The WS series of compact intelligent weather sensors (WS200 to WS600) along with VENTUS and V200A models measure different atmospheric parameters to meet specific weather monitoring needs. The top-of-the-range model, WS600-UMB, measures temperature, humidity, precipitation, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed.
