Humidity measurement:
A built-in hygro-thermosensor is used to measure humidity levels. The sensor has a small air
exchange volume thanks to its compact design and responds to changes in humidity in seconds.
A software module uses the relative humidity and air temperature to calculate absolute humidity
and the dew-point temperature.
Inside temperature of housing:
A silicon temperature sensor measures the temperature inside the housing.
GPS-Receiver:
The weather station has a GPS receiver with integrated RTC (Real Time Clock) for receiving the
position of the weather station, and time + date (UTC).
An alignment of the GPS receiver is not necessary.
The integrated RTC is buffered for a period of 3 days.
General information:
After activation of the FS6003 the first satellite data are available after approx. 2.5min.
When receiving the signals from one satellite:
time with an accuracy of < 1µs.
When receiving the signals from three satellites:
position with an accuracy of < 20m
When receiving the signals from four satellites:
altitude, referred to the WGS84-
ellipsoid, with an accuracy < 30m
4 Installation of COMPACT FS6003 Weather Station
Please note:
The working position of the COMPACT FS6003 Weather Station
is horizontal (plug connection underneath).
During installation, de-installation, transport or maintenance of
the COMPACT FS6003 Weather Station make sure that no water
gets into the device and connector.
4.1 Selection of installation site
An exposed position should be selected for this site. Measurement properties should not be
influenced by light reflections, cast shadows or the device being positioned in the lee of the wind.
Protection against lightning and overvoltages should also be provided by the customer.
