The wind measurement kit for weather stations is a complete set including a wind vane, a cup anemometer, and a tipping bucket rain gauge, along with all the necessary mounting hardware. These sensors use magnetic reed switches and magnets for measurement, requiring an input voltage to generate an output.

Kit components:

• Wind vane and anemometer:
  • Mounted on a sturdy metal support arm.
  • A cable connects the two sensors for easy installation.
  • The wind vane is equipped with eight magnetic switches linked to different resistances, allowing measurement of up to 16 directions depending on the magnet's activation.
  • The anemometer measures wind speed via an intermittent contact triggered by a magnet. The data is transmitted through an RJ11 cable.
• Rain gauge:
  • A self-emptying tipping bucket model that measures rainfall by recording each tip with a momentary contact closure.

Advantages:

• Accurate and reliable sensors, suitable for meteorological measurements.
• Simple installation with included mounting hardware.
• Easy connection via standard RJ11 cables.

This kit is ideal for educational projects, scientific studies, or any application requiring a functional and easy-to-use weather station.
