Knowledge Base
Technical background on weather instruments, written for the people who buy and specify them rather than for search engines.
What Is a Weather Station and What Is Inside One
The parts of a wireless weather station — console, outdoor array, rain gauge, anemometer and remote sensors — and what each one actually measures.
RF Wi-Fi or LoRa Which Weather Station Link to Buy
How the three link types in the UCTECH range differ in range, dependency and after-sales cost, and which market each one suits.
How a Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Works
The mechanism behind rainfall rate and accumulation on a wireless weather station, its resolution, and why gauges under-read in heavy rain.
Choosing a Thermometer Hygrometer for Storage and Production
What actually separates one digital thermo-hygrometer from another: stated tolerance, alarms, memory, channels and probe type.
What Is a Humidity Sensor and How Accurate Can It Be
Relative humidity, capacitive sensing elements, drift, and what a ±3% or ±5% figure on a datasheet really covers.
What Is Ideal Indoor Humidity
The comfort band for homes, why the edges of it cause complaints, and how a multi-channel monitor finds the room that is out of range.
Refrigerator and Freezer Thermometers What to Look For
Why door-opening checks fail, what a wired probe changes, and which alarm and memory features matter in a cold cabinet.
Wireless Sensor Range and Channels Explained
What a 100 m open-area rating means in a real building, how dip-switch channels work, and how to plan an eight-point install.
Weather Station Calibration and Accuracy
What the accuracy figures on a weather station datasheet mean, what field calibration can and cannot fix, and how UCTECH validates a design.
Uploading Weather Data to Weather Underground and WeatherCloud
How a Wi-Fi console gets its readings online, what the customer needs, and where installations usually go wrong.
How Ultrasonic Tank Level Measurement Works
Time-of-flight level sensing for water tanks, what affects the reading, and when a multi-channel console is the right shape.
A Sourcing Checklist for OEM Weather Stations
The questions that separate a factory from a trading desk, and the specification points worth pinning before a sample order.
