Product Description

1. Description

JW-XF500(YN21) Compact Weather Station is an integrated five parameter weather sensor designed for continuous outdoor monitoring of air temperature humidity wind speed wind direction and barometric pressure. With RS485 Modbus RTU output compact structure and no moving parts it is suitable for smart agriculture road weather solar PV sites wind farms environmental grids and microclimate monitoring systems.

2. Product Overview

JW-XF500(YN21) Compact Weather Station combines five essential meteorological parameters into one mini weather sensor. It is built for 24 hour online monitoring in outdoor environments where space installation time and system integration cost matter.

Compared with traditional weather stations that require separate sensors for wind temperature humidity and pressure the XF500 provides a more compact solution for distributed weather networks. The integrated structure reduces wiring complexity while the RS485 Modbus RTU protocol makes it easy to connect with industrial controllers weather data loggers IoT gateways and cloud monitoring platforms.
