Attention:
The Barometric Pressure Sensor is part of the Weather Station. For data storage, the barometric pressure sensor is considered as part of the special meteorological instrumentation.
Summary
The PTB220 series barometers are fully compensated digital barometers designed to cover a wide range of environmental pressure and temperature. They can be used successfully both in accurate pressure measurement applications at room temperature and in demanding automatic weather station applications.
Sensor has range of 900-1100hPA with resolution of 0.1hPa.
