Ambient Weather WS-5000 Ultrasonic Professional Smart Weather Station
The Ambient Weather Ultrasonic Professional Smart Weather Station is the most sophisticated home and light industrial weather station we have ever created. Our smart wind meter has no moving parts to wear out, and includes a revolutionary sonic anemometer that responds quicker to wind, and transmits faster than traditional wind cup designs.
The integrated thermo-hygrometer sensor includes a passive radiation shield design that results in accurate temperature and humidity with little to no wind. This outperforms traditional designs which are subject to radiant heat transfer if mounted to a building or structure.
The extra large rain cup insures better accuracy. Since the sensor is wireless, it can be placed close to the ground, and the removable lid makes it easy for service and maintain.
Also included is an indoor thermo-hygrometer-barometer that can be placed anywhere in or around your home or business.
The station also measures UV and solar radiation.
Supports combinations of up to eight optional additional Thermo-Hygrometer Sensors (Item WH31, sold separately) or Probed Thermometers (Item WH31P, sold separately). Place the optional sensors in and around your house for extensive home or business monitoring.
An optional PM2.5 air quality sensor is available for health and wellness.
Sensors under development and available in 2020 are lightning, indoor PM2.5 and VOC air quality, soil temperature and moisture, and more.
The tablet connects to WiFi and the Internet. The WiFi settings are entered directly into the display tablet using the interactive buttons.
The menu based multi-screen display tablet includes NIST internet time server synchronization, imperial and metric units of measure, high and low alarm conditions with audible alert, calibration of all major parameters, real-time internet weather publishing, and encrypted WiFi transmission.
The WS-5000 also displays minimum and maximum conditions with time and date stamp, historical archived data, which can be exported to SD Card (optional) for advanced data analysis in Excel, The SD Card is also used for firmware updates.
The full color TFT LCD full color display is easy to read, day or night, and includes a light and dark colored background.
The attractively thin desktop display is also wall mountable and includes an AC adapter, and features automatically controlled brightness settings based on time of day. Includes an AC adapter, which must be plugged in all of the time to view and log data.
The all-in-one sensor array features a pagoda thermo-hygrometer radiation shield with passive aspiration for the upmost accuracy, a bubble level for plumb installation, and a solar panel. 2 x AA batteries not included.
The sensor array bracket easily mounts to any pole (not included) between 1" and 2" diameter.
