MetPak Pro Weather Station

Product catalog summary
Overview: The MetPak Pro is a versatile weather station capable of monitoring up to 10 reference quality parameters. It integrates essential weather sensors and allows for the connection of additional external measurement devices.
Key Features: The system includes a Gill WindSonic ultrasonic wind sensor, a barometric pressure sensor, and a Rotronic Hygroclip temperature/humidity probe. It supports additional inputs for a Pt100 temperature sensor, a tipping bucket rain gauge, and two analogue sensors.
Specifications:
  • Wind Measurement: Range 0-60 m/s, accuracy ±2% at 12 m/s, resolution 0.01 m/s.
  • Barometric Pressure: Range 600-1100 hPa, accuracy ±0.5 hPa, resolution 0.1 hPa.
  • Temperature: Range -35°C to +70°C, accuracy ±0.1°C, resolution 0.1°C.
  • Humidity: Range 0-100% RH, accuracy ±0.8% at 23°C, resolution 0.1% RH.
Power and Communication: The system operates on 5V to 30V DC, with various digital outputs including RS232, RS422, RS485, and SDI-12. It supports ASCII and SDI-12 V1.3 protocols.
Environmental and Mechanical: The device is housed in UV-stabilized thermoplastic with an IP65 protection class, suitable for operating temperatures from -35°C to +70°C.
Optional Accessories: Includes a junction box for sensor connections, a heater interface box for remote heated wind sensors, and various mounting and cabling options.
Software: MetSet and MetView software are included for configuration and data visualization.
Applications: The MetPak Pro is suitable for various environments, including marine settings, and can be configured with or without a wind sensor depending on user requirements.

MetPak Pro Weather Station-1

Weather Station Expandable, up to 10 Reference Quality Parameters Key Features Wind Speed & Direction Barometric Pressure Digital Input (tipping bucket rain gauge) Gill ASCII Output MetPak Pro monitors the most essential weather parameters with the additional ability to connect up to four external measurement devices. The system combines a Gill WindSonic ultrasonic wind speed & direction sensor, a highly accurate barometric pressure sensor and Rotronic Hygroclip temperature/humidity probe. MetPak Pro contains a PCB allowing users to conveniently add additional parameters using industry standard formats. Additional inputs allow for connection of a Pt100 temperature sensor, tipping bucket rain gauge (available from Gill) and two analogue sensors (water level sensor, pyranometer, pressure sensor, soil temperature sensor etc). Base Station Options Available MetPak Pro can be configured with optional rain gauge and remote sensors. See page 3 for wind sensor options. Included: MetSet configuration software MetView data logging/visualisation software Mounting kit to adapt to poles or masts.

MetPak Pro Weather Station-3

Expandable, up to 10 Reference Quality Parameters Sensor Options Base Station MetPak Pro is available as a Base Station which enables the system to be specified with a remote wind sensor if required. This sensor can be positioned away from the Base Station and a connection cable is provided. Optional Rain Gauge The Base Station has been tested in accordance with BSEN 60945 and is suitable for use in marine environments. This system, which includes inputs for a Pt100 temperature sensor, tipping bucket rain gauge (available from Gill) and two analogue sensors, can also be specified without a wind...
