The TrolMaster MBS-WS puts wind, rain, temperature and humidity sensors into one compact unit for the Green-X GCS-1. Its three-spoon anemometer reads wind from 0 to 15 m\/s, or about 33.5 mph, and starts turning at a light breeze. A rain sensor flags precipitation so the controller knows when to pull the sides shut. Outdoor temperature reads from \u003cstrong\u003e-4 to 122°F\u003c\/strong\u003e with ±3°F accuracy. Humidity covers \u003cstrong\u003e0–90% RH\u003c\/strong\u003e with ±5% accuracy. The manual also lists a light sensor rated to 65,000 lux for day and night detection. Data runs over \u003cstrong\u003eRS-485\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the station draws its 12V power from the controller. The housing carries an \u003cstrong\u003eIP54\u003c\/strong\u003e rating for outdoor mounting. TrolMaster rates it for about 20,000 hours of outdoor use and backs it with a 3-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMounting and Wiring the TrolMaster MBS-WS Outdoors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ePick a spot clear of ridges, trees and exhaust fans, where wind and rain reach the sensor without interference. Bolt it to the included metal bracket. Then use the supplied bubble level to set it perfectly flat. The wind spoons must sit horizontal and spin freely for accurate speed readings. Run the included 12 ft RJ12 to 4-pin IP65 cable to the GCS-1 sensor port and tighten the connector against water. On the controller's home screen, outdoor readings appear on the right beside indoor data from the MBS-GH. From there, DMC-1 and AMC-1 motor controllers can close vents on wind or rain triggers set by priority. A range with several Green-X controllers can share one station through the WSP-1 splitter. Inspect the spoons and rain sensor after storms, and clean them if readings stall. The package measures 7.48 × 6.69 × 6.69 in and weighs 1.83 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour Outdoor Sensors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wind speed, rainfall, temperature and humidity in one IP54 housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Spoon Anemometer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reads 0–15 m\/s (about 0–33.5 mph) for wind-based vent protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRain Detection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flags precipitation so the Green-X can close vents and curtains automatically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRS-485 Link:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stable data over long cable runs, powered directly by the controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Kit Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comes with a metal bracket, bubble level and 12 ft IP65 connector cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;
