The MP Series compact weather sensors are designed for robust and maintenance-free measurements in hydrology, meteorology and weather-critical applications where durability, precision and operations in different climatic conditions are required.
The compact devices allow for single or all-in-one measurements of up to 7 parameters such as:
- Wind speed for 60 m/s or 75 m/s (option)
- Wind direction
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Air-pressure
- Rainfall
- Radiation
All sensors have been tested and approved against following environment conditions:
- High and low temperature ranges
- Humid weather (humidity and ingress protection)
- Windy and coastal environments (vibration and salt spray sustainability)
- Low costs of installation and total costs of ownership
- Aluminum alloy with teflon coating for harshest environment
- Product portfolio to suit best to automatic weather stations
- Build-In data processing and algorithm
- Universal and selectable interfaces and protocols such as SDI-12 or RS 485 (MODBUS-RTU, ASCII, NMEA 0183)
- Easy integration into 3rd party systems
- Low power consumption to be supplied by solar power packages
- No moving parts and maintenance-free with high IP grade 66
- Sustainability and high accuracy at entire wide temperature operating range from -40 to +158°F (-40 to +70 °C) (non-heated versions)
- Metric and imperial units
- Unheated versions: Operating measuring and deployment temperature range from -40 °F to +158 °F (-40 °C to +70 °C)
- Heated versions: Heating control range from 14 °F to 39 °F (-10 °C to +4 °C) for wind speed and direction
- Extended versions for models E-H with wind speed up to 167 mph (75 m/s), heater, ventilation for T/RH and electronic compass
WeatherSens MP is especially suitable for hydro-meteorological applications by one sensor design and construction, e.g. for
- Automatic Weather Stations
- Smart Cities, Urban Areas and Municipalities
- Road weather monitoring
- Road traffic and railway traffic/energy control systems
- Bridges and tunnel monitoring
- Photovoltaic farms
- Chemical and industrial areas
- Building Automation
