The Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) is an integrated, basically pre-assembled field
station that collects data from attached sensors and then transmits it wirelessly,
or via cable, to a console. The ISS standard complement of sensors includes:
✦
Wind Speed
✦
Wind Direction
✦
Rainfall
✦
Outside Temperature
✦
Outside Humidity
The Wireless ISS is user-configurable to communicate on one of 8 different ID
codes. This allows multiple systems to coexist in the same geographical area.
Note: The ISS operates on a low power frequency that does not require you to obtain an FCC license.
