MetPak RG includes precipitation measurements to those parameters provided by the MetPak utilising an ARG314 rain gauge delivering reference quality rainfall measurements. The separate ARG314 rain gauge comes complete with a base plate and 6m cable and is calibrated to the MetPak ensuring excellent accuracy and data quality.

The MetPak RG utilises Gill WindSonic ultrasonic technology, a highly accurate barometric pressure sensor and a Rotronic Hygroclip HC2-S3-GI temperature/humidity probe. The design of the MetPak allows measurements to be as accurate as possible without influencing other measured parameters yet provides a compact, reference quality system. The unit is especially suitable for harsh or marine environments and is supplied with selectable Gill ASCII, NMEA SDI-12 and Modbus outputs.

Parameters measured include:
• Wind speed & direction
• Barometric pressure
• Temperature
• Dew point
• Relative humidity
• Rainfall

MetPak RG comes complete with: MetSet configuration software, MetView data logging/visualisation software, mounting kit to adapt to poles or masts and selectable ASCII, NMEA, 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.
