Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXT530 Series
Environment

The WXT530 is a cost-efficient series of all-in-one weather instruments. It provides six of the most important weather parameters: air pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and wind direction. With 6 versions available, you can choose the measurement parameter combination that fits your application.

The latest version of these world-class weather instruments supports the modbus protocol, unlocking new industrial applications such as renewable energy, building and industrial automation, and manufacturing.

WXT530 is a simple system that utilizes solid state technologies to minimize operating and maintenance costs. Integration is easy and flexible through the digital and analog interface. You can also connect third party sensors to WXT530 to create your own weather parameter hub.
