Vaisala WXT536 Weather Sensor
Product Information
The Vaisala WXT536 Weather Sensor is designed to measure barometric pressure, humidity, precipitation, temperature, wind speed and direction.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- The Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXT536 measures barometric pressure, humidity, precipitation, temperature, and wind speed and direction.
- To measure wind speed and direction, the WXT536 has the Vaisala WINDCAP® Sensor that uses ultrasound to determine horizontal wind speed and direction.
- Its small size makes it ideal for quick, short-term deployments.
- To measure wind speed and direction, the WXT536 has the Vaisala WINDCAP® 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 specific design. Barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity measurements are combined in the PTU module using capacitive measurement for each parameter.
- The WXT536 precipitation measurement is based on the unique Vaisala RAINCAP® Sensor, which detects the impact of individual rain drops. The signals exerting from the impacts are proportional.
- It is compatible with the following Aeroqual products:
- AQM 65 compact air quality station
- AQS 1 compact air quality monitor
- Dust Sentry dust and particulate monitor
- Dust Profiler dust and particulate counter
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
- It is easy to change the module without any contact with the sensors.
- The WXT536 is immune to flooding, clogging, wetting, and evaporation losses in the rain measurement.
- Low power consumption is ideal for battery powered systems.
- No moving parts for durability and long maintenance intervals.
- Easy integration with 3rd party data collection platforms.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:
- The WXT536 is a low maintenance weather station able to measure:
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Air temperature
- Relative humidity (RH)
- Barometric pressure
- Precipitation (rainfall)
