The perfect weather sensor for industrial use as well as under extreme environmental conditions. The WS6 measures wind direction and speed, air temperature, rel. humidity, barometric pressure, and dew point with independent, integrated sensors for high accuracies of each individual parameter.The WS6 does not have any moving parts meaning there is minimal need for maintenance and very easy to service.Features– Extremely robust, compact weather sensor with high quality, pollutant-resistant housing made of anodized aluminium- Ideal for use in extreme environmental conditions, e.g. deserts, tropics, high mountains- Version with integrated heating system for year-round icing-free operation- Lamella shelter for accurate measurements of the temperature-humidity sensors- ASCII data protocol according to NMEA 0183- Power supply 6…60 VDC with integrated overvoltage protection- Storage, evaluation and display of the measured values using the MeteoWare CS evaluation software- Easy, space-saving mounting on 50 mm standard pipeApplications– Land applications under any conditions- Wind turbines- Railway line monitoring- Traffic meteorology- Weather services and Offices for the Environment- Chemical and industrial facilities- Power plants, sewage plants and landfills
