Lightning fast weather detection

Lufft’s new WS800 weather sensor detects lightning and other environmental parameters including ambient temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall intensity and volume as well as global radiation. It detects the radiated electromagnetic waves of a thunderbolt and Lufft said the WS800 is resistance to electromagnetic radiation, which occurs on high speed train rails.

It detects the radiated electromagnetic waves of a thunderbolt and Lufft said the WS800 is resistance to electromagnetic radiation, which occurs on high speed train rails. The unit is small enough fit into the existing housing of the WS700 and communicates with the standard UMBASCII, UMB-Binary, SDI12 and ModBus protocols as well as with analogue outputs, making it simple to integrate into existing networks.
