Introduction
MetPak RG is a compact and lightweight multi-sensor instrument that measures
the most essential weather parameters. Gill ultrasonic technology, as used in the
proven WindSonic instrument, measures wind speed and direction. Temperature
and Humidity are measured and Dewpoint calculated using an industry standard
probe housed in a naturally aspirated radiation shield. Barometric pressure is
measured using an industry standard sensor.
The customer is able to add one supplied digital contact closure rain gauge.
The MetPak RG combines all the instrument data into a single combined data
string. This may be configured for digital ASCII RS232/RS422/RS485 (2 wire point
to point) and digital SDI-12 outputs.
The instrument uses a rugged mounting clamp that attaches to any vertical pipe up
to 58mm (2.3 inch) diameter.
An electrical Hub box is fitted to the mounting bracket for termination of the Rain
Gauge Cable and Power/Data cable.
