The comprehensive device family offers, depending on the version, the following measuring components:
- Barometric pressure sensor
- Ultrasonic anemometer with electronic compass
- Sensor for liquid and solid precipitation (Doppler radar)
- Global radiation sensor (CMP3)
- Sensor for liquid precipitation (tilt balancing system)
- Temperature Sensor
- Capacitive sensor for relative humidity
As a result of the serial interfaces SDI-12 and, optionally, RS-485 with a variety of output protocols, the devices are interface-compatible with all OTT data loggers, ADCON RTUs, standard HydroMet data loggers, and PLC systems.
Power consumption is minimized due to the customizable power-saving options. The heating and fan are interchangeable. The device can thus be used with a mains supply or a solar source for heated winter operations and hydro-meteorological applications.
- Product highlights: Low power requirements, compact weather sensor
- Parameters measured: Global radiation, temperature, precipitation, relative air humidity, air pressure, electronic compass, wind speed, and direction
- Interface: SDI-12, RS-485
