More info on:

 

The MetPak™ II is a compact and lightweight multi-sensor meteorological instrument that measures a wide range of weather parameters.

  • Wind Speed and direction
  • Temperature
  • Relative Humidity
  • Dew point
  • Barometric Pressure

Ultrasonic technology, as used in the proven WindSonic instrument, measures wind speed and direction.

Temperature and humidity are measured using industry standard probes housed in a naturally aspirated radiation shield. Barometric pressure is measured within a vented enclosure.

The serial data output is ideal for interfacing with a WS-15A Display Unit or for data logging to a SpaceLogger® WindLogger.

The MetPak II weather station can be supplied with digital SDI-12, RS232 & 422 outputs.

Low power consumption enables this weather station instrument to be used in remote locations where power is at a premium.

An electrical junction box is fitted to the mounting bracket allowing convenient termination of all electrical cables.

 

MetPak weather station benefits:

  • Compact unit
  • Ultrasonic wind sensor with no moving parts
  • Low start up wind speed (0.01 m/s)
  • True 0 to 360º operation
  • Serial data output options
  • Lightweight
  • Easily pole mounted
  • Low power consumption for remote monitoring

 

Applications

  • Environmental monitoring
  • Industrial controls
  • Road Weather Stations
  • Coastal Weather Stations

What does it output?

MetPak II can be configured using the free MetView software provided to select the output rate and units of measurement that suit the application.

The MetPak II automatically transmits a status code with each output to indicate the operating status of each of the sensors. This ensures accuracy and reliability.
