Introducción
The XF500 Series Compact Weather Station Sensor is a multi-parameter meteorological monitoring sensor device. The base model collects core meteorological data including temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, light intensity, and solar radiation.
The series also includes sub-models such as XF500G, XF500S, and XF500L, which respectively expand monitoring capabilities to include light intensity, solar radiation, and third-generation wind speed and direction. Featuring a compact design and flexible functionality expansion, this series delivers customized monitoring solutions for diverse applications.
The XF500L sub-model, specifically enhanced for light intensity, solar radiation, and third-generation wind speed/direction monitoring, finds extensive use in environmental, meteorological, agricultural, photovoltaic, and transportation sectors.
Working Principle
The XF500 Series operates on the advanced ultrasonic time-of-difference principle for wind measurement. Unlike traditional mechanical sensors, it features four ultrasonic transducers arranged in a matrix that emit and receive high-frequency sound pulses. By calculating the micro-second travel time differences caused by airflow, the internal microprocessor determines precise horizontal wind speed and direction with zero starting threshold and no mechanical wear.
For environmental parameters, the station integrates high-precision MEMS sensors and thermopiles within its anti-radiation shield. Barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity are measured via industrial-grade solid-state modules, while light intensity and solar radiation (in G/S/SL models) are captured through specialized photoelectric sensors. All raw data is processed by an onboard edge-computing chip using filtering algorithms to eliminate environmental noise, delivering stable, linearized engineering values via the RS485 Modbus-RTU interface.
