LUFFT WS501-UMB Smart Weather Sensor – Temperature, Relative Humidity, Radiation, Air Pressure, Wind, Electronic Compass
Lufft’s WS501-UMB Smart Weather Sensor for measuring of air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed. The world renowned technology of Kipp+Zonen CMP3 is integrated. Ultrasonic sensor technology is used to take wind measurements meaning there are no moving parts and the sensor is maintenance free. Measurement output can be accessed by the following protocolls: UMB-Binary, UMB-ASCII, SDI-12, MODBUS. One external temperature or rain sensor is connectable.
| Parameters measured: | Temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, wind direction, wind speed, radiation |
| Measurement technology: | Ultrasonic/Wind, NTC/T, Capacitive/RH, MEMS capacitive/Pressure, Kipp&Zonen Pyranometer/Radiation |
| Product highlights: | Wind detection with bird-proof construction. Compact all-in-one weather sensor, low power, heater, aspirated radiation shield, maintenance-free operation, open communication protocol. |
| Interfaces: | RS485 with supported protocols UMB-Binary, UMB-ASCII, Modbus-RTU, Modbus-ASCII, XDR and SDI-12 |
