WeatherFile Communication Unit (WCU) Description

The WeatherFile Communication Unit (WCU) provides the means of connecting weather sensors via GSM, WiFi or LAN to WeatherFile.com. The WeatherFile data is accessed by any internet connected PC, tablet or smart phone. Data is viewed on WeatherFile.com (talk to us if you prefer viewing your data via your own website). Data is also accessible over the local network. The WCU has a micro SDHC card for long term storage of data and data backup if required.

The WCU is compatible with a wide range of sensors and the WeatherFile system is easily configured. The electronics are in a tough, weatherproof (IP67 for WiFi and mobile versions, IP65 for LAN version) enclosure with high quality connectors for ease of installation. If at any time the internet connection is lost, the WCU will continue to log data which will be retransmitted to WeatherFile.com when communications are restored ensuring continuous data capture.

In addition, the WCU controls power to the system elements. Power savings can be made if, for example, a reading is needed just a few times a day or data only required remotely during working hours. To keep your data private (such as commercially sensitive data) or if the data is not applicable to a wider audience, an SSL secure login to a private area on the WeatherFile.com site can be provided. WCU is supplied with power supply unit with 3m cable.

Email notifications can be set for high or low values or if the system goes offline.
