The RWS-07 Portable Weather Station is shown here assembled with sensors for windspeed and direction, and optional sensors for temperature and humidity, solar radiation, rainfall, and barometric pressure.

Optional Sensors

Solar Irradiance

The SP Lite 2 is a simple, low cost pyranometer for routine measurements of solar radiation. The unit has been designed to be used in all weather conditions with minimal maintenance. The SP Lite 2 features a silicon photo-diode detector with a conical diffuser to provide a full 180° field of view and allow rain to run off. The photo-diode does limit the spectral range, 400-1100nm, but this provides a similar spectral response to photovoltaic solar cells.

Measurement Range:	+2000Wm²
Resolution:	100µV/Wm²
Units:	Wm²

Barometric Pressure

The barometric pressure sensor is a small sensor with a ¼" BSP thread and IP65 DIN socket for the electrical connection. The sensor should be mounted in a location where it is protected from the elements, specifically, precipitation, condensation and dynamic pressure caused by wind. .

Measurement Range:	750-1250mBar
Accuracy:	0.1%
Units:	mBar

Temperature & Humidity

The temperature and humidity sensor is a single instruments supplied mounted into a small Stevenson screen, designed to protect the sensor against error-producing solar radiation and precipitation, plus the discs prevent any wind effects on the readings. Screen can be secured to the tripod, or with fixing screws to a surface.

	Temperature	Relative Humidity
Measurement Range:	-40 to +60°C	0-100%RH
Accuracy:	±0.5°C	±1.5%RH
Units:	°C	%RH

Rainfall

The TR-525 rain gauge is a freestanding tipping rain bucket used to measure precipitation totals with a pulse output for rainfall totals. The 6" open top funnel allows for a 0.01" measurement unit (convertible to mm). The rain bucket is free standing but needs secured to the surface to prevent it being knocked over.
