| Definition | This is a a self-contained weather station measuring wind speed and direction, precipitation , air temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. The station has the following sensors: Vaisala WINDCAP ultrasonic wind sensor measuring average, maximum and minimum windspeed accurate to the greater of 0.3 m/s or 3% (0-35 m/s range) or 5% (36-60 m/s) range and average, maximum and minimum wind direction to an accuracy of 3 degrees. Default averaging interval is 60 minutes. Vaisala RAINCAP sensor-2 - a piezoelectrical sensor that measures rainfall amount and intensity (rate) to an accuracy of 5% by counting raindrop impacts. Capacitive silicon BAROCAP air pressure sensor Capacitive ceramic THERMOCAP air temperature sensor Capacitive thin film polymer HUMICAP 180 humidity sensor The precipitation and wind sensors may be optionally heated to keep them free from snow and ice. Output is via an RS232 connection. More information may be found at http://www.vaisala.com/Vaisala%20Documents/User%20Guides%20and%20Quick%20Ref%20Guides/WXT510_User_Guide_in_English.pdf. |
