Weather Station atmospheric Sensors
Compact weather station sensors for buildings- marine- meteorology-wind farms-wind turbines & air quality monitoring OEM applications.
The Lufft WS family of professional weather station meteorological sensors means you only measure what you need to measure in a single compact pole mounted aspirated enclosure.
Each model is designed to reduce maintenance requirements normally associated with traditional analogue mechanical weather sensors such as cup & vane type wind speed & direction sensors.
The performance from the enclosure is enhanced with built in ventilation system providing a constant stream of air flowing through the radiation shield to improve response times.
The ultrasonic wind speed & direction sensors are afforded additional protection by intelligent design, preventing possible damage from falling debris or bird strikes.
Heated versions for cold climates.
All WS sensors now come with additional SDI-12 output.
A quick summary of each sensor is given below, but if you need more in depth information, please request a copy of the product data sheet, either by phone (01767 692692), email or use the Contact us link, filling in the details as required. Thank you.

WS600-UMB compact weather station sensor measuring air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation intensity, precipitation type, precipitation quantity, barometric pressure, wind direction & wind speed in a single enclosure with only 1 cable.
Relative humidity is measured by means of a capacitive sensor element; a precision NTC measuring element is used to measure air temperature. Precipitation is measured by way of a 24 GHz Doppler radar, which measures the drop speed of an individual drop of rain/snow. Precipitation quantity & intensity are calculated from the correlation between drop size & speed. The difference in drop speed determines the type of precipitation (rain/snow). Wind speed & direction using ultrasonic sensors.

V200A ULTRASONIC wind speed & direction sensors in a
plastic housing & inbuilt 30W heater.
Precise and maintenance-free measurement of wind velocity and wind direction with calculation of acoustic virtual temperature.
Belongs to Lufft's WS family of professional intelligent sensors with digital and analogue
interfaces.
The ultrasonic wind sensor is designed without mechanical parts to overcome the maintenance problems associated with traditional “cup and vane” types, which are prone to malfunction due to ingress of dirt or dust.
Digital or analogue outputs delivers instantaneous, average, min or max values with
flexible measuring rate.
The V200A ultrasonic wind speed & direction sensor is heated for locations where critical ambient
conditions are possible.

The UMB (Universal Measurement Bus)
system is new technology for recording
environmental data.
Regardless of whether in the form of a
standard weather station or road ice
warning system, the modular UMB system
excels due to easy commissioning, free
firmware updates and data transfer over
RS232, RS485 or GPRS modem.
UMB offers flexibility, modularity and
web-based visualization and polling
software.
The UMB sensor library provides
comprehensive range of meteorological
sensors for recording temperature, relative
humidity, dewpoint, barometric pressure, precipitation, wind speed & direction, visibility &
road surface conditions. The new WS series
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, barometric pressure, wind direction
& wind speed, all in one aspirated enclosure.
The electrical connection for all UMB
sensors is made via a standard plug
connector system. This keeps installation
and service costs to a minimum.
All UMB sensors can be polled by
means of a standard protocol.
Once data polling has been incorporated
for one sensor, additional sensors
can be added by way of easy parameterization
of the data polling system.
Channel-oriented sensor data polling
delivers a large number of computed
variables in metric and US format, thus
there is no need for conversion by the
user. Sensors can be configured, equipment
tested and firmware updated with
the free configuration software (UMBConfig-
Tool).
