Lufft Weather Station (WS500- / WS600-UMB)
Description
The Lufft compact weather stations with Universal Measurement Bus (UMB) are designed for recording environmental
data. The WS series provides a comprehensive range of environmental sensors for recording wind speed and wind
direction as well as air pressure, temperature, relative humidity and precipitation. The compact weather stations in
particular are outstanding due to their unrivaled price-performance ratio. The top-of-the-range model, WS600-UMB,
incorporates sensors for temperature, humidity, precipitation, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed.
Wind data is measured by 2D ultrasonic. The measurement principle for temperature is NTC, air pressure and relative
humidity are measured capactive.
The electrical connection for all UMB compact weather stations is made via a standard plug connector system. This
keeps installation and service costs to a minimum. All UMB compact weather stations can be polled by means of a
standard protocol. Once data polling has been incorporated for one sensor, additional sensors can be added by easy
parameterization of the data polling system.
Channel-oriented sensor data polling delivers a large number of computed variables in metric and US format, hence
there is no need for conversion by the user. Sensors can be congured, equipment tested and rmware updated with
the free conguration software (UMBCong-Tool).
