Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXT520 - 7108 Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXT520 Access to Real Time Weather Data

The WXT520 has an automatic control circuit that switches the heating on at low temperatures.

Features/Benefi ts

WXT520 Measuring acoustic precipitation

â–ª

Measures 6 most essential weather parameters The Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXT520 measures barometric pressure, humidity, precipitation, temperature, and wind speed and direction.To measure wind speed and direction, the WXT520 has the Vaisala WINDCAP The WXT520 precipitation measurement is based on the unique Vaisala RAINCAP

â–ª

Accurate and stable
® Sensor, which detects the impact of individual rain drops. The signals exerting from the impacts are proportional to the volume of the drops. Hence, the signal from each drop can be converted directly to the accumulated rainfall.The WXT520 measures accumulated rainfall, rain intensity and duration of the rain — all in real time. The Vaisala RAINCAP

â–ª

Low power consumption – works also with solar panels

â–ª

Compact, light-weight
® sensor that uses ultrasound to determine horizontal wind speed and direction. The array of three equally spaced transducers on a horizontal plane is a Vaisala speci c design. Barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity measurements are combined in the PTU module using capacitive measurement for each parameter. It is easy to change the module without any contact with the sensors.The WXT520 is immune to ooding clogging, wetting, and evaporation losses in the rain measurement.
