Kenelec Scientific no longer stocks this product.
Recommended replacement: Vaisala WXT530 Series Weather Transmitter.

The Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXT520 measures barometric pressure, humidity, precipitation, temperature, and wind speed and direction. Using the Vaisala Ultrasonic WINDCAP® Sensor to determine horizontal wind speed and direction and measuring accumulated rainfall, rain intensity and duration of the rain – all in real time.

Barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity measurements are combined in the PTU module using capacitive measurement for each parameter and it’s easy to change the module without any contact with the sensors. The WXT520 is immune to flooding clogging, wetting, and evaporation losses in the rain measurement making it an accurate yet rugged monitoring tool.
