Bestech Australia has released digital sensors for measuring wind, precipitation, air temperature, atmospheric humidity, atmospheric pressure. They feature maintenance-free measuring procedures for wind and precipitation, forced-ventilated and radiation-protected housing.
This digital meteorological transducer, with integrated signal processor or A/D converter, can acquire all important weather variables in one device (over 20 different measurable variables). Up to 10 measuring channels can be evaluated simultaneously via the ALMEMO D7 plug.
The following variables are factory programmed: wind velocity (m/s), wind direction (°), precipitation quantity (mm), precipitation intensity (mm/h), air temperature (°C), relative atmospheric humidity (% RH), barometric atmospheric pressure (hPa). The meteorological transducer operates with current ALMEMO V7 devices, including precision touch screen data logger ALMEMO 710 and professional measuring instrument ALMEMO 202.
The meteorological transducer complies in essence with all specifications laid down by the WMO (world meteorological organization) and is used in a wide variety of areas, e.g. weather services, water management, transport technology (roads, rail), agriculture, renewable energy technology, and the monitoring of air quality and atmospheric emissions.
The transducer can be fitted quickly and easily, e.g. on a mast or pole, using the supplied bracket.
The connection cable can be plugged onto the transducer. In the small connection box the signal cables are clamped and the mains unit for the heating system supply are plugged.
