Gill MetPak Pro Base Station

£0.00 exVAT

£0.00 incVAT

This MetPak Pro Base Station allows a remote wind sensor as well as four additional sensors to be added. The base station itself measures four parameters including temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure and dew point. The four additional inputs can be used for external measurement devices such as a precision tipping bucket rain gauge.

Product Description

The MetPak Pro Base Station measures barometric pressure, air temperature, humidity and dew point. An optional Gill WindSonic 1 ultrasonic sensor can be added remotely and comes with a mounting bracket and 6m cable.

The MetPak Pro Base Station also includes additional inputs for a Pt100 temperature sensor, a tipping bucket rain gauge and two analogue sensors (such as water level sensor, pyranometer, pressure sensor, soil temperature sensor etc.).

The following parameters and inputs come as standard:
• Air Temperature • Relative Humidity • Barometric Pressure • Dew Point • Analogue Input • Analogue Input • PRT Input • Digital Input (for optional Rain Gauge) • Optional wind speed & direction with mounting bracket and 6m cable

External sensors can be connected directly to the weather station or for convenience via an optional distribution junction box which can be located separately from the MetPak Pro which giving flexibility when swapping or replacing external sensors.

MetPak Pro comes complete with: MetSet configuration software, MetView data logging/visualisation software, mounting kit to adapt to poles or masts and selectable ASCII, SDI-12 or Modbus outputs.

Richard Paul Russell Ltd. can connect the sensor to the WeatherFile.com website where data can be viewed using any internet connected device and downloaded for detailed analysis in a .CSV file format.
