| 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 3% at 10 m/s 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 giving an accuracy of 0.5 hPa at 0-30C or 1 hPa at -52-60C.Capacitive ceramic THERMOCAP air temperature sensor giving an accuracy of 0.3C at 20C.Capacitive thin film polymer HUMICAP 180 humidity sensor giving an accuracy of 3% below 90% humidity or 5% above 90% humidity.The precipitation and wind sensors may be optionally heated to keep them free from snow and ice. Output is via USB connection. This is an upgrade of the WXT510 weather transmitter that may be applied to existing units during service by Vaisala.
