Product catalog summary
Product Introduction
SenseCAP ONE is a series of compact weather sensors capable of monitoring up to 10 weather parameters such as air temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed. These sensors are designed for high-precision data collection in harsh environments, supporting Modbus-RTU (RS485) and SDI-12 protocols.
Basic Parameters
The series includes models S200, S500, S700, S800, and S1000, each with different capabilities. They have an IP66 rating and operate on a 12V~24V power supply, with specific measurement ranges and accuracies for each model.
Installation
Installation requires verifying the packing list and can be done using a pole or platform. Proper alignment of connectors and cables is crucial to prevent communication issues. For power extensions beyond 100 meters, a 24V/2A power supply is recommended.
Device Interface
