The FT - CZ5 Vehicle - Mount Weather Station: A Compact Powerhouse for Meteorological Monitoring

The origin of the Vehicle-Mount Weather Station can be traced back to the end of the 20th century, and it initially emerged to meet the demand for personalized meteorological services. With the global climate change, people's requirements for the accuracy and real-time nature of meteorological information have become increasingly higher, which has spurred the continuous development of the Vehicle-Mount Weather Station. Against this backdrop, the FT-CZ5 small vehicle-mounted wireless weather station brings an efficient and convenient meteorological monitoring solution.

The FT-CZ5 is a highly integrated and low-power device, featuring quick installation and convenient mobile monitoring. It adopts a five-element integrated sensor, which can accurately observe meteorological elements such as wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure in real time. The sensor housing is made of imported ABS material, which can effectively resist harsh environments such as salt spray, and the protection level reaches above IP65. The hidden ultrasonic probe on the top cover of the device avoids the interference of snow and rain accumulation and natural wind blockage. It measures the wind speed by emitting continuous variable-frequency ultrasonic signals and using the measurement of relative phase. The bottom is equipped with a magnet wrapped in high-strength rubber, which can be adsorbed on the car roof without damage. It has a built-in electronic compass that automatically finds the north, and it also adopts the Beidou and GPS dual-mode positioning, with an accuracy of up to 0.1 meters.

This weather station is equipped with a standard 485-to-USB cable, which can be connected to a laptop or a pad to directly read the data. It supports serial port data reception, processing, and display, and has various communication methods such as json character strings and modbus485. It can self-set the storage and collection time, and also supports data post-processing and the external operation of javascript scripts.

The wind speed measurement range is 0～60m/s, with an accuracy of ±0.1m/s; the wind direction is 0～360°, with an accuracy of ±2°; the air temperature measurement range is -40 - 60℃, with an accuracy of ±0.3℃; the air humidity is 0 - 100% RH, with an accuracy of ±3% RH; the atmospheric pressure measurement range is 300 - 1100hpa, with an accuracy of ±0.25%. The data storage is no less than 500,000 pieces, the power consumption is only 1.75W, the capacity of the lithium battery is 12000maH, the battery life is ≥50h, the total weight is ≤5kg, and one person can complete the deployment within 2 minutes.

Due to these characteristics, the FT-CZ5 is widely used in fields such as meteorology, agriculture and forestry, environmental protection, ocean, airports, ports, scientific expeditions, and campus education. Whether it is to provide meteorological data support for agricultural production or to monitor the meteorological conditions in real time during emergency rescue, it can play a useful role. With its reliable performance and accurate data, it provides a strong guarantee for the development of various industries.
