  • Infrastructure weather monitoring

The Lufft WS500-UMB S85900H Compact Weather Station is a professional all-in-one meteorological sensor combining 2D ultrasonic wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure in one compact, maintenance-friendly instrument. Wind is measured without moving mechanical components across a 0–75 m/s range, while integrated sensors provide temperature measurement from -50°C to +60°C, relative humidity from 0–100% RH and barometric pressure from 300–1200 hPa. Environmental data is transmitted through a two-wire RS485 interface using Modbus communication, while standardized UMB architecture, integrated 20 VA heating, IP66 protection and a standard connector system simplify installation and integration into automatic weather stations, renewable-energy monitoring systems and remote meteorological networks.

Key Features

  • 2D ultrasonic wind measurement
  • No moving parts for wind sensing
  • Wind speed range: 0–75 m/s
  • Wind direction range: 0–359.9°
  • Wind direction accuracy: <3° RMSE above 1 m/s
  • Barometric pressure: 300–1200 hPa
  • Pressure accuracy: ±0.5 hPa
  • Temperature: -50°C to +60°C
  • Temperature accuracy: ±0.2°C in primary range
  • Relative humidity: 0–100% RH
  • Humidity accuracy: ±2% RH
  • RS485 two-wire half-duplex interface
  • Modbus communication
  • 20 VA integrated heating
  • 12–24 VDC power
  • IP66 housing
  • 10 m standard cable

Because WS500 combines ultrasonic wind, temperature, humidity and pressure inside a single UMB instrument, a monitoring station can replace several individually mounted sensors and reduce the number of separate cables, mounting brackets and logger interfaces that must be installed and maintained.
