Weather Station
FEATURES• Easy-to-use and economical • High quality, rugged, industrial grade sensors for monitoring, alarming, and reporting • Wind Direction, Wind Speed, Humidity, and Temperature Sensor electronics are fully encapsulated in marine grade epoxy for complete environmental protection and a long operating lifeThe WE900 Global Water Weather Station includes the following weather sensors and installation hardware:• WE550 Wind Speed Sensor • WE570 Wind Direction Sensor • WE700 Temperature Sensor • WE600 Humidity Sensor • WE770 Solar Shield • and the WE820 1 inch 304 stainless steel mounting frame with 316 stainless steel fittings, 6 ft tall, 3 ft wide crossbar • Junction boxThe following weather sensors and hardware can be added to the weather station:• WE100 Barometric Pressure Sensor • WE300 Solar Radiation Sensor • WL400 Water Level Sensor • EP180 Evaporation Pan • RG200 Rain Gauge 6", Tipping Bucket • RG600 Rain Gauge 8", Tipping Bucket • WE830 Mounting TripodMounting HardwareGlobal Water's Weather Station includes full assembly on a sturdy and durable stainless steel tube frame that can be mounted onto a pre-existing base or onto the WE830 Global Water Tripod for upright installation. The unit is designed for durability and endurance in harsh conditions. The WE770 Solar Shield, a ventilated sun shield with high reflectiveness, low heat retention, and low thermoconductivity, is provided as protection and a mounting platform for the Temperature and Humidity sensors.Weather Monitoring Station ApplicationsDesigned for general meteorological applications, the Global Water Weather Station is a rugged and low-cost system for a variety of weather monitoring applications, including:• Agriculture • Education • Environmental Studies • Landfills • Reclamation • Wastewater Facilities • Water Budget Analysis • Water ConservationWeather Monitoring Station InstallationProper siting for weather sensors is important to ensure accurate readings. For example, wind sensors should not be installed too close to a building, as turbulence created by the building can interfere with readings. The Solar Radiation sensor should be installed in direct sunlight on a level surface (bubble level and leveling screws are included with purchase).Purchase of both the Wind Direction and Wind Speed sensors includes a T-mounting bar with a 1" stainless steel coupling unit and allen wrench for easy allen set screw installation. Individual wind sensors or solar radiation sensors include 1 inch stainless steel elbow couplers and an allen wrench. The Solar Shield (with a stainless steel elbow coupler) can be used for protection and easy installation of the Temperature and Humidity sensors. The Barometric Pressure sensor can be mounted with straps for a variety of applications (including inside a datalogger or to a display for hand-held use).Additional Weather Station Sensors• WE100 Barometric Pressure Sensor, mounted inside junction box (PN# EA0000) • WE300 Solar Radiation Sensor plus mounting hardware (PN# EB0000) • WE710 Flat Surface Temperature Sensor (PN# EFA000) • EP180 Evaporation Pan (PN# EN0000) • RG200 Rain Gauge 6 inch, Tipping Bucket (PN# EJ0000 • RG600 Rain Gauge 8 inch, Tipping Bucket (PN# EK0000) • WE830 Mounting Tripod (PN# EI0000)
