Calypso Wired Bluetooth & WeatherFile Station

Calypso Wired & Bluetooth Station Description

The Calypso Wired & Bluetooth WeatherFile Station allows users to view data locally within 50m of the sensor as well as remotely with any internet connected device via our cloud solution WeatherFile.com.

Data can be viewed through the Android App via Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity up to 50m from the sensor (clear line of sight). The App displays current wind speed, wind direction and temperature as well as a continuous 3 second gusting average meeting WMO (World Meteorological Organisation) guidelines.

The Calypso sensor is connected using a 20m cable to the WeatherFile Communication Unit (WCU) which provides the means of connecting the Calypso sensor via GSM, WiFi or LAN to WeatherFile.com. The WeatherFile Communication Unit (WCU) is housed in a tough, weatherproof (IP67) enclosure with high quality Binder plug connectors, one cable connects the sensor to the WCU and the system is powered via a 12Vdc mains adaptor plug making installation incredibly simple and cost effective.

Data can be downloaded from WeatherFile without restriction cost free in .CSV (Excel) format for analysis and reporting plus email alerts can be set for user defined wind speed thresholds.

Installation of the sensor is simple and fast, the 33cm mounting mast is engineered from high-quality aluminium with a screw thread at the base to fit a standard VHF antenna mount sizing 1"-14 UNS thread (Ø 20 drill to allow wiring). Please note the VHF antenna mount is not included, please contact us for assistance if required.

This system delivers guaranteed data collection and accessibility regardless of local communication limitations ensuring a reliable cost effective highly accurate wind and temperature monitoring solution.
