Forest Fire Prevention: FT-SL10 Forestry Weather Station

Forest fires pose a significant threat to forest ecosystems. They can burn large forest areas in a short time, destroying forest structure, forest environment, and natural ecological balance, leading to a series of ecological problems such as climate imbalance and soil erosion. Meteorological conditions affect the probability of forest fires; weather conditions such as high temperature, drought, and strong winds can dry out combustible materials in the forest, increasing fire risks.

Introduction to Forestry Weather Station FT-SL10

The FT-SL10 Forestry Weather Station is a highly reliable field meteorological monitoring device specially developed to meet forest fire prevention needs. The system achieves forest fire early warning and fire fighting guidance by real-time collection of temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation, and combustible material content data.

The weather station consists of five parts: meteorological sensors, data logger, solar power supply system, pole bracket, and cloud platform, featuring no debugging required and rapid deployment capability. It can continuously monitor fire risk-related meteorological elements 24 hours a day and immediately trigger an alarm once fire danger signs are detected.

The FT-SL10 adopts a low-power design with a data logger static power consumption of less than 1mA. It comes standard with GPRS connectivity and supports extended Bluetooth and wired transmission. The device is equipped with a 7-inch Android touch screen and supports Modbus485 sensor expansion, facilitating the addition of various meteorological element sensors according to user needs.

The power supply and structural design fully consider the harsh requirements of field environments. The device uses a solar charging management system with MPPT automatic power point tracking function. Equipped with a three-meter carbon steel bracket and stainless steel protective box, it achieves an IP66 waterproof rating, capable of resisting corrosion and oxidation, adapting to various harsh field environments.

Monitoring Parameters

The system's monitoring parameters cover all key indicators required for forest fire risk assessment:

Atmospheric Environment:

Air temperature (-40～+80℃)

Relative humidity (0～100%RH)

Wind speed (0～60m/s)

Wind direction (0～360°)

Rainfall (≤4mm/min)

Atmospheric pressure (300～1100hPa)

Radiation and Illumination:

Light intensity (0-200000Lux)

Solar radiation

Special Monitoring:

Carbon dioxide concentration (400-5000PPM)

Soil temperature and humidity

Collected data is uploaded to the management platform in real-time through wireless transmission technology to generate fire danger level warning information. When monitoring parameters exceed safety thresholds, the system sends alerts to designated mobile phones via SMS, enabling real-time risk response.

The practical application of this professional weather station in forest fire prevention work embodies the disaster prevention and mitigation concept of "prevention first, combination of prevention, resistance, and rescue." Through precise monitoring and timely early warning, it provides important technical support for protecting forest resources.
