Product description
The Weather Station is a sensor, which can determine different weather data, and
display it on an ISOBUS terminal.
If a Weather Station is connected to a terminal, the ISOBUS-TC application will save
the determined weather data.
The Weather Station can determine the following values. All values can be displayed
using the metric, American or imperial systems:
▪ Speed and direction of true wind
– Actual wind speed and direction relative to North.
▪ Speed and direction of apparent wind
– True wind together with airstream. The latter is the wind felt by the machine
user.
Example: When driving at speed of 20 km/h in an eastward direction, with a
wind of 10 km/h from the west, apparent wind is 10 km/h from the East.
▪ Gust speed
– A gust speed will be displayed if there is a brief increase in wind speed of
more than 5 km/h above the average wind speed for the last 10 minutes.
▪ Temperature
▪ Relative air humidity
▪ Air pressure
– With GPS reception: Air pressure is set to sea level.
– Without GPS reception: Air pressure is set to the current position of the
vehicle, i.e. the height of the terrain.
▪ Roll
– Slope of the vehicle along its longitudinal axis
▪ Pitch
– Slope of the vehicle along its transverse axis
▪ Driving speed
▪ Delta T
– Indicator for suitability of weather for spray agent application. The value
provides a recommended droplet size when working with field sprayers.
▪ Dew-point
– Temperature at which air humidity condenses and becomes dew.
▪ Drift

– Droplet deviation in a specific direction depending on driving speed and true
wind.
