2.2.3. SB 271 - Solar panel
The
SB 271
solar panel (40 Watt, 12 V) extends the
working time of the monitoring station. The size and
weight of the panel enables easy transportation in the
dedicated carrying bag.
The SB 271 solar panel does not require additional
batteries or external controllers.
The mounting system enables mounting of the
SB 271 solar panel above the monitoring case which
provides a natural shade that protects the station
from overheating.
The SB 271 is equipped with a military standard
connector cable for direct connection to the
monitoring station.
2.2.4. SP 274 - meteo module
SP 274
is a Vaisala Weather Transmitter WXTxx
type meteo module used with the SV 279 PRO
monitoring station.
It measures the 6 most essential weather parameters
(barometric
pressure,
humidity,
precipitation,
temperature, wind speed and direction) and also rain
and hail intensity. It has low power consumption
(working also with solar panels), is compact and light-
weight, has no moving parts, has internal heating and
USB connection and can be easily installed with a
one-bolt mounting method.
SP 274 has an automatic control circuit that switches
the heating on at low temperatures.
Five measurement weather parameters (barometric
pressure, humidity, temperature, wind speed and
direction) are transferred from SP 274 via USB to the
monitoring station controller every second.
Precipitation is measured and 3 values for rain and
hail (intensity, accumulation and duration) are
transferred, every 10 seconds, only when it is raining
or hailing These parameters are not averaged but
integrated.
