Aquamet Weather Sensors

The Aquamet Weather Sensors are high quality, rugged sensors for monitoring, alarming and reporting. Each sensor has a high level 4-20 mA output for easy interface to process control systems, telemetry, dataloggers, or displays. Each sensor is loop-powered by 10-36 VDC and comes with 25 foot cable, standard.

(Extra cable to 100 feet optional) Sensor electronics are fully encapsulated in marine grade epoxy for complete environmental protection and long operating life.


Wind Speed and Direction

The Aquamet Weather Station comes with a Wind Speed and Direction Sensor, for monitoring wind speed and wind direction under even the most severe weather conditions.

The Wind Speed Sensor measures wind speeds of up to 110 mph (58 m/s), with a 3-cup anemometer which has a very low threshold and high response to changes in wind speed. The unit is durable and rugged, constructed of high-impact materials.

Wind Direction is measured with a wind vane connected to a potentiometer which converts to high level output with almost infinite resolution.

Wind Speed - Model 3520

  • Type: 3-Cup anemometer
  • Range: 0 to 58 m/s., (110 mph)
  • Threshold: <0.5 m/s 1.11 mph)
  • Accuracy: <10 m/s = ±0.25 m/s; >10 m/s ±2%
  • Resolution: 0.2 m/s (0.4 mph)

Temperature and Humidity

The humidity sensing element is composed of a solid state capacitive element with linear amplitive element whose output changes with changes in the humidity. The Temperature Probe has a sensor with a precision RTD calibrated to U.S. National Standards.

Radiation Shield

In addition, a ventilated sun shield with high reflectiveness, low heat retention and low thermoconductivity is provided.
