Weather Multi-sensor
Five in one weather multi-sensor
The Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXT510 revolutionizes weather measurement. It
offers a full set of sensors in one instrument, enabling you to easily set up a
weather station. The WXT510 measures wind speed and direction, liquid
precipitation, barometric pressure, temperature and relative humidity — all in
one instrument. The WXT510 is compact, durable, simple to install and easy to
integrate. As the instrument has no moving parts, it requires little to no
maintenance. The WXT510 provides unparalleled flexibility due to its various
options, opening new possibilities for weather measurement.
Ultrasonic wind sensors
The wind measurement is based on an advanced ultrasonic wind sensor, Vaisala
WINDCAP® Sensor. The sensor measures both horizontal wind speed and direction
using a Vaisala patented array of three equally spaced ultrasonic sensors. This
design ensures accurate wind measurement from all wind directions without blind
angles or corrupted readings.
Precipitation sensor
The precipitation measurement in the WXT510 is based on the new Vaisala
RAINCAP® Sensor. As opposed to traditional precipitation gauges, the sensor
gives detailed information about precipitation. The WXT510 measures
accumulated rain fall, rain intensity and duration — all in real time. The
Vaisala RAINCAP® Sensor is the only maintenance-free precipitation sensor on the
market.
Humidity, temperature and barometric pressure sensors
The humidity, temperature and barometric pressure measurements are based on
well known Vaisala patented Vaisala HUMICAP®, Vaisala THERMOCAP® and Vaisala
BAROCAP® Sensors. The sensors utilize a capacitive measurement method for each
parameter.
