Description

Overview
S700-B 7-in-1 Compact Weather Sensor with pyranometer measures air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, total solar radiation, sunshine duration, rainfall (optical), wind speed, and wind direction (ultrasonic). It is ideal for application in rough environments such as outdoors, agriculture, or smart cities.

Key Features
  • Comprehensive 7-parameter Measurement: air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, total solar radiation, sunshine duration, precipitation intensity (optical), wind speed and wind direction.
  • Industrial-level Design: wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and high protection rating IP66.
  • Versatile Output Interface: supports RS485 (MODBUS-RTU) and SDI-12.
  • Thermostatically-controlled Heating System: maintains normal operation and accurate measurements at extremely cold temperatures.
  • Powerful Components: long cable for mounting, accuracy-enhancing shields, advanced ultrasonic wind sensors with bird-proof structure.
  • Reliable and High Standard Test Performance: proven design quality, structure and materials through extensive performance testing.

Hardware Overview
Includes a compact integrated housing with multiple internal sensors and a pyranometer for solar radiation measurement. The product is designed for industrial deployment with robust structural features and protective shields to enhance measurement accuracy.

Wire Connection
The equipment uses M12 connectors with an 8-core specification. Cables in eight colors are used for power supply and data communication. The bottom wire outlet cable length is 3 m and includes wires in the colors white, brown, green, yellow, gray, pink, blue and red. The device supports connection to various data acquisition devices, PLCs or host computers via RS485, ASCII and SDI-12 protocols.

SenseCAP ONE Series Context
Part of the SenseCAP ONE family of compact weather stations. Comparable product lineup and series options allow selection according to required sensors and deployment scenarios.
