MaxiMet weather stations benefit from the same technology used in Gill’s scientific product range, ensuring measurement accuracy, low maintenance and continuous status reporting.
The MaxiMet family includes a range of sensor configurations allowing customers to select the model most appropriate to your needs.
Key features
- Six measured parameters: Wind speed & direction, temperature, humidity, pressure, rainfall.
- Includes integrated high accuracy optical precipitation sensor with no moving parts requiring minimal maintenance. See TruMet PW100 datasheet for more specific information.
- Multiple additional derived parameters based on combining measured parameters, such as gust, average wind speed and dew point.
- High quality, accurate, solid state sensors.
- 2-axis compass.
- Optional integrated GPS capability available to provide location, GPS timestamp and a calculation of true wind if the platform is moving.
- Optional low power heating.
Benefits
- High quality measurement data due to careful sensor selection and extensive design testing and verification.
- Easy to set-up and integrate using comprehensive software to select the reported and derived parameters and measurement units.
- Easy to install and long operational life, due to a compact, robust design and the selection of low maintenance sensors.
- Suitable for use with battery or solar systems in low power mode.
Typical applications
- Control systems including smart buildings, agriculture and industry
- Environmental monitoring
- Solar farms
- Reporting systems for transport and safety
- Low power/solar powered deployments and IoT applications
