MetPak RG-1

Weather Station 7 Reference Quality Parameters Key Features Wind Speed & Direction  Temperature  Humidity  Precipitation  Barometric Pressure  Dew Point  MetPak RG is supplied complete with a tipping bucket rain gauge adding to those parameters provided by MetPak at a very attractive price, while maintaining the reference quality measurement concept. The rain gauge is included along with the base plate, 6 metres of cable and is calibrated to the MetPak ensuring excellent accuracy and data quality. The design of the MetPak RG allows all measurements to be as accurate as possible without influencing other measured parameters yet provides a complete, compact, reference quality system. The unit is especially suitable for harsh, coastal and fixed marine platforms where accuracy of the precipitation measurements is paramount and is supplied with selectable Gill ASCII, NMEA SDI-12 and Modbus outputs.. Base Station Options Available MetPak RG can be configured with a remote wind sensor. See page 3 for all wind sensor options. MetSet configuration software  MetView data logging/visualisation software  Mounting kit to adapt to poles or masts  Selectable ASCII, NMEA, SDI-12 or Modbus Outputs Ease of connection for remote heated wind sensors.  Mounting Pipe (not supplied) 30-58mm (1.2" - 2")

Sensor Options Base Station MetPak RG is available as a Base Station which enables the system to be specified with a remote wind sensor if required. The wind sensor can be positioned away from the Base Station and a connection cable is provided. The Base Station has been tested in accordance with BSEN 60945 and is suitable for use in marine environments. This system, which includes a rain gauge input, can also be specified without a wind sensor if wind measurement data is not required. Optional Rain Gauge MetPak can be specified with a remote sensor from any of the options shown below: Sensor...
