GMX560 Marine Weather Station for Wind, Temp, RH & Pressure

GMX560 Marine Weather Station for Wind, Temp, RH & Pressure

The MaxiMet GMX560 Marine is similar to the GMX500 with an improved environmental protection, IP68, 6-axis compass and M12 Connection. Allowing it to survive harsh weather conditions encountered by buoys and unmanned surface vessels, including short-term immersion and compensation for tilt with pitch and roll data. The combined instrument is mounted inside three double louvered, naturally aspirated radiation shields, taking ambient temperature, humidity and pressure readings. Wind speed and direction is measured using an ultrasonic sensor above the main housing. Outputs are available as RS232, RS485. SDI12, NMEA and MODBUS.
