Advantages of the Smart Weather Sensor WS304

  • All-in-one housing concept of a compact weather sensor combining several measurement parameters in one housing with only one cable connection
  • Tuiltable pyranometer as part of the sensor unit
  • Built-in data pre-processing, universal interfaces and selectable output protocols
  • Compatible with many commercially available Met/HydroMet dataloggers and PLS systems thanks to an open communication protocol
  • Maintenance-free operation – no moving parts that can wear out
  • Suitable for all climate zones; also for solar-powered automatic meteorological stations
  • Ventilated temperature and humidity measurement according to WMO guidelines

Examples of use of the Smart Weather Sensor WS304

The robust and maintenance-free smart weather sensor WS304 is designed for professional meteorological applications in all climate zones. It delivers reliable data, even in extreme ambient conditions.

Examples of use:

  • PV-Monitoring / Solar Monitoring on photovoltaic farms
  • Hydro-meteorological stations
  • Meteorological reference stations
  • Integration into various other systems/solutions, where these measurement parameters are needed...
