Converts the digital data for use in the RS-485 bus

The Serial Wind Transmitter WAC155 converts the digital data supplied by the Vaisala WA15 and WA25 Series wind sensors for use in the RS-485 bus.

Features and benefits

• Capable of measuring the wind parameters at a configurable interval (typical 3 seconds) using the instant method according to the WMO standard
• Communication with the host system with NMEA 0183 compliant protocol over RS-485 electrical interface (half-duplex)
• Fail-safe RS-485 operation with configurable baud rate and turnaround delay
• Configurable ID setting
• Adjustable heating control of sensors
• Auto-detection of sensor failure
