Calypso Wireless Bluetooth & WeatherFile Station

Calypso Wireless Bluetooth & WeatherFile Station Description

The Calypso Wireless Bluetooth & WeatherFile Station allows users to view data locally within 30m (line of sight) of the NMEA to Bluetooth Low Energy Gateway block and remotely with any internet connected device via our cloud solution WeatherFile.com.

Data is transferred from the sensor to the NMEA to Bluetooth Low Energy Gateway. From here the data can be viewed using the Android WeatherFile BLE Android App via Bluetooth up to 30m from the NMEA to Bluetooth Low Energy Gateway. 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 NMEA to Bluetooth Low Energy Gateway block is connected using a 20m cable to the WeatherFile Communication Unit (WCU) which provides the means of passing the Calypso sensors data 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.

This system offers the ideal solution when power availability is limited and/or the sensor location or distance does not allow for direct wiring, guaranteeing data collection and visibility.
