FAQs:
Q: What data can I collect with this weather station kit?
A: The kit allows you to collect data on wind speed (m/s, knots, km/h, mph), wind direction, and rainfall (mm).
Q: How accurate are the measurements?
A: The accuracy for wind speed is ±(0.3+0.03*V)m/s, for wind direction is ±3°, and for rainfall is 0.2mm.
Q: What is the maximum measurable wind speed?
A: The anemometer can measure wind speeds up to 70 m/s.
Q: Is this kit easy to assemble and use?
A: Yes, the kit comes with all the necessary components and is easy to assemble. It also includes a user manual with detailed instructions on installation and usage.
Q: What is the communication interface for retrieving data?
A: The kit uses the Modbus-RTU protocol over RS485 for data communication, allowing you to easily connect it to your computer or other data logging systems.
