Vaisala WXT536 Weather Sensor

Product Information

The Vaisala WXT536 Weather Sensor is designed to measure barometric pressure, humidity, precipitation, temperature, wind speed and direction.

PRODUCT FEATURES:

  • The Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXT536 measures barometric pressure, humidity, precipitation, temperature, and wind speed and direction.
  • To measure wind speed and direction, the WXT536 has the Vaisala WINDCAP® Sensor that uses ultrasound to determine horizontal wind speed and direction.
  • Its small size makes it ideal for quick, short-term deployments.
  • To measure wind speed and direction, the WXT536 has the Vaisala WINDCAP® Sensor that uses ultrasound to determine horizontal wind speed and direction.
  • The array of three equally spaced transducers on a horizontal plane is a Vaisala specific design. Barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity measurements are combined in the PTU module using capacitive  measurement for each parameter.
  • The WXT536 precipitation measurement is based on the unique Vaisala RAINCAP® Sensor, which detects the impact of individual rain drops. The signals exerting from the impacts are proportional.
  • It is compatible with the following Aeroqual products:
    • AQM 65 compact air quality station
    • AQS 1 compact air quality monitor
    • Dust Sentry dust and particulate monitor
    • Dust Profiler dust and particulate counter

PRODUCT BENEFITS:

  • It is easy to change the module without any contact with the sensors.
  • The WXT536 is immune to flooding, clogging, wetting, and evaporation losses in the rain measurement.
  • Low power consumption is ideal for battery powered systems.
  • No moving parts for durability and long maintenance intervals.
  • Easy integration with 3rd party data collection platforms.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:

  • The WXT536 is a low maintenance weather station able to measure:
    • Wind speed
    • Wind direction
    • Air temperature
    • Relative humidity (RH)
    • Barometric pressure
    • Precipitation (rainfall)
