MetConnect Weather Stations

Quick Overview

The MetConnect weather stations are compact, lightweight, multi-sensor instruments that have integrated sensors for temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and dew point with additional inputs available for wind speed & direction (Integrated WindSonic option), PT100 temperature, rain gauge and two analogue inputs (0-5V or 4-20mA). All measurements is available as a single string via RS232, RS422, RS485 and Modbus RTU/ASCI, NMEA 0183 or SDI-12. The MetConnect series replaced the previous MetPak weather station series.

1 Additional PT100 Temperature Input for Ground Temperature
Serial Output, RS232, RS422, RS485, Modbus RTU/ASCII, SDI-12 and NMEA
MetSet Configuration Software and MetView Data Logging/Visualisation Software Included

The MetConnect weather station provides a complete weather station with a single serial output covering up to 10 reference quality parameters. Parameters include: wind speed and direction; air temperature; relative humidity; dew point; barometric pressure; rain fall sensors; plus additional connections for a PT100 temperature sensor and 2 additional analogue inputs. The units are available in a range of different configurations to suit your specific requirements and parameters you are monitoring.

The MetConnect THP Weather stations allow you to integrate the unit to a separate remote wind sensor. This allows the wind sensor to be mounted away from the base station and provides a wider option of suitable wind sensors, including the WindMaster anemometers which can provide 3D wind measurements.
