Ultrasonic Weather Station
Configurable 5-, 6- or 9-channel weather instrument with mandatory ultrasonic wind measurement and a selected RS485 Modbus RTU, RS232 NMEA-0183 or SDI-12 interface.

Select the channels and interface before treating this as one weather station
The reviewed documents describe a configurable instrument family, not one universal all-channel configuration.
- Wind speed and wind direction are mandatory. The five-channel set adds air temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure; the six-channel set adds precipitation; the nine-channel set adds precipitation, solar radiation, illuminance and dust.
- RS485, RS232 and SDI-12 are alternatives, not simultaneous standard outputs. Modbus RTU is the default reviewed protocol for RS485; NMEA-0183 and SDI-12 require their matching ordered interface.
- The base instrument is below 3 W in the reviewed documents. Optional ultrasonic-head heating and added sensor modules change the site power budget and must be sized separately.
- IP66 protects the instrument enclosure, but it does not remove the need for correct siting, mast rigidity, grounding, lightning / surge protection, obstruction clearance and periodic inspection.
- The page does not claim a regulatory-reference meteorological station. Project accuracy, calibration documents and acceptance criteria are confirmed for the intended use before quotation.
Typical applications
- Unattended agricultural, environmental and field-weather monitoring stations
- Solar- and wind-site operating-condition monitoring linked to a customer logger, RTU or SCADA system
- Traffic, port, vessel or mobile-platform projects after positioning, orientation and mounting are reviewed
- Compact weather inputs for customer-owned data platforms where a selected serial protocol is already defined
