1. System outline
KWS-2000 is an automatic meteorological observation and monitoring system for
education purposes that stores the meteorological observation results such as
temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind velocity, amount of rainfall, rainfall detection
and GPS installed in the tripod support, and transfers data to the host PC through
communication port such as RS-232, RS-485, and USB.

3. System specification
3.1. Features
Long-Term Stability
It is excellent in long-term stability as sensor is released after perfect calibration in
all areas of measurements to minimize uncertainty by the minute differences of
each unique feature.
Fast Measurements
It enables to process data stably and fast with digital signaling of SM-BUS method.
Low Power consumption
It enables low power system realization by MEMS Sensor, and it can operate with
solar cell power only without external power if any product without heater.
Easy Installation
It is convenient in site installation and maintenance as the equipment can be
connected regardless of data logger connection location with SM-BUS method
having unique ID by sensor.
Easy system extension
Communication output is executed by digital SM-BUS method.
It is easy to extend system as sensor addition is very easy.
Local and Remote Communication
It supports wired and wireless communication port by the support of various
RS-485, RS-232, and USB communication Port.
Others
Multi-channel for real-time meteorological data collection
Internal memory support for data collection and storage
GPS embedded data logger that identifies installation location automatically
