WS200-J All-in-One Weather Sensor

Product Number: J8371.1
Compact all‑in‑one weather sensor designed for accurate measurement of wind direction and wind speed in environmental applications.

Overview

 The professional Lufft WS-J Series of Compact Weather Sensors, builds on the previous WS-UMB weather sensor reputation for consistent, long-lasting performance in all weather situations. With the new WS-J you gain improved accuracy at higher output rates on all measured data as well an improved feature set in measured parameter, connectivity, and housekeeping functions. Achieved by implementing a new processor generation allowing higher sampling rates and a redesigned temperature stabilized A/D conversion. 

Benefits

Performance & Tender- Readiness

Delivers ultrasonic wind speed, direction and an integrated compass measurements with exceptionally low power consumption. Implemented WMO compliant wind gust calculation. Ideal for installations in 10m height as well in remote and solar-powered deployments.

Low Lifecycle Cost by Design

 Ultrasonic sensing eliminates moving parts, reducing maintenance requirements and supporting dependable long-term performance. 

Reduced Risk, Improved Self-Diagnostics

The WS-J's incorporates improved house-keeping functions, live heating-voltage monitoring, and automatic self-diagnostics to catch a failing component before it corrupts the rest of the instrument and finally your decision making data set.
 

One Platform Across Networks

The J-Series is a drop-in replacement for legacy WS units, sharing size, weight, mounting, cable connections, available protocol formats and interfaces, and software across the platform. One calibration reference, one spare pool, one standard.
