WeatherHawk 500 Series - professional grade weather stations for serious weather observation, ideal for schools and colleges, leisure or agriculture.
The WeatherHawk 500 Series of weather stations is a solid state device with no moving parts - therefore requiring minimal servicing. It is a solar powered system* providing accurate measurements for wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, barometric pressure and rainfall.
The system is simple to install and comes in either RS-232 or wireless variants (other comms are available including short haul modem and network/internet options- see accessories page). The system can be mounted to either a tripod or a wall (optional extras - see accessories page). The integral datalogger is pre-programmed for simplicity of use with an instruction for reporting ETo readings. Software is available for graphical viewing of the stations output (see accessories page).
