6478 Lufft USA’s new high quality WMO-compliant weather sensor, the WS3000, part of the company’s new WS1000 series, measures air temperature, relative humidity and air pressure.

Relative humidity is measured by means of a heated capacitive sensor element; a precision PT100 measuring element is used to measure air temperature. A resonant pressure transducer is employed for precise pressure measurement. Measurement output can be accessed by UMB-Binary, UMB-ASCII, SDI-12, MODBUS and NMEA protocols.

Lightning fast weather detection

Lufft’s new WS800 weather sensor detects lightning and other environmental parameters including ambient temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall intensity and volume as well as global radiation. It detects the radiated electromagnetic waves of a thunderbolt and Lufft said the WS800 is resistance to electromagnetic radiation, which occurs on high speed train rails. The unit is small enough fit into the existing housing of the WS700 and communicates with the stan
