WXT510 Weather Transmitter
2.2 Wind Direction
Measurement Range: 0° to 360°
Accuracy: ±3°
2.3 Precipitation
Rainfall: cumulative accumulation after latest automatic or manual reset.
Accuracy: 5% (Due to the nature of the phenomenon, deviations caused by
spatial variations may exist in precipitation readings, especially in short
time scale. The accuracy specification does not include possible wind
induced error.)
Rain Duration: counting each ten second increment when droplet detected.
Rain Intensity: one minute running average in ten second steps.
2.4 Barometric Pressure
Measurement Range: 600 to 1100 hPa (mbar)
Accuracy: ±0.5 hPa @ 0° to 30°C; ±1 hPa @ -52° to +60°C
2.5 Air Temperature
Measurement Range: -52° to +60°C
Accuracy: ±0.3°C @ +20°C
2.6 Relative Humidity
Measurement Range: 0 to 100% RH
Accuracy: ±3% RH @ 0 to 90% RH; ±5% RH @ 90 to 100% RH
2.7 Assembly
Input Voltage: 5 to 30 Vdc
Typical Current Drain: 3 mA with default measuring intervals
