The innovative Lufft WS100 is our maintenance-free radar precipitation sensor with switchable heating. Using a 24 GHz Doppler radar, it measures the amount of precipitation of all forms of condensed water from the very first second. This includes rain, snow, freezing rain, sleet, and hail.
Its applications are virtually limitless. Whether in hydrology and water management, agricultural and environmental science, building automation, meteorology, or airport and traffic control, the automatic rain gauge measures precipitation almost anywhere in the world.

Rain/precipitation amount, rain/precipitation type (rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail)
Measurement technology:
24GHz Doppler radar
Product highlights:
Very fast response time, maintenance-free measuring method, present weather detector
Interfaces:
RS-485, half-duplex 2-wire, SDI-12, pulse output/UMB protocol, Modbus
Product advantages of the radar precipitation sensor WS100
