Features of the Thermo-Hygro Sensor
The thermo-hygro sensor measures the outdoor temperature and relative
humidity. It also collects the readings from the rain and wind sensors
before transmitting the data to the base station by wireless 433MHz or by
the 32ft cable included in this set.
Features of Wind sensor
The wind sensor measures wind speed and wind direction and sends the
data to thermo-hygro sensor, which in turn transmits the data to the base
station. Operating power is taken from the thermo-hygro sensor using a
32ft cable connection.
Features of Rain sensor
The rain sensor measures the rainfall and sends the data to thermo-hygro
sensor, which in turn transmits the data to the base station. Operating
power is taken from the thermo-hygro sensor by a 32ft cable connection.
