All important weather information appears simultaneously on the display so that it is not necessary to operate the device to capture the data.

Multiple basic units can be operated simultaneously; hence the data of the sensors can be simultaneously displayed at multiple locations.

The external sensor system of WS 550 US works exclusively on wireless data transfer. You can thus install or mount the sensors at a maximum distance of 400 ft. (depending on the local conditions, see section "Range") from the base station.
