 Whether stand-alone or combined in our exclusive AnythingWeather System™, the high resolution industrial strength weather station offers no moving parts for easy maintenance.
The Orion Weather Station™
The Orion Weather Station™ includes a high-tech, all-in-one sensor module with ultrasonic wind direction and speed measurements, a highly-accurate impact rain sensor, capacitive relative humidity, temperature and barometric pressure readings. High accuracy and fine resolution make this system ideal for precision weather monitoring. Available in three types of systems – fixed-mount, vehicle-mount, and the Orion Nomad™ portable weather station – Orion data can be monitored with our proprietary Weather Display Console and/or WeatherMaster™ Software. Orion LX™ weather stations include the Weather MicroServer for Internet-ready output as well as industrial automation interfaces including Modbus/TCP.
Weather MicroServer™
The Weather MicroServer has data logging capability. It connects to your network with an included Ethernet cable. Two serial ports offer interface to both the Weather Display Console and additional peripheral devices or sensors such as visibility, solar radiation, and the Orion LT wind sensor. The Weather MicroServer can provide real-time weather data to Weather Master Software over the network. This allows users to simultaneously monitor the weather using Weather master on any network computer.
Weather MicroServer Optional Sensors: The visibility sensor measures atmospheric visibility (meteorological optical range) by determining the amount of light scattered by particles (smoke, dust, haze, fog, rain, and snow) in the air that pass through the optical sample volume. A 42-degree forward scatter angle is used to ensure performance over a wide range of particle sizes. For applications requiring additional wind speed and direction, the Orion LT wind only
sensor module offers ultrasonic technology for high accuracy and stability. Triangular design ensures excellent data availability and 360° measurement accuracy with a starting threshold of virtually zero. A heated model is available.
Orion™ Weather Stations Sensor Specifications Temperature Barometric Pressure Wind Speed Wind Direction Relative Humidity Rainfall Orion Transmitter/Sensor Module Parometric Measurements Barometric Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity are combined in a tri-sensor module utilizing a capacitive measurement method for each parameter. A radiation shield protects the sensors from both scattered and direct sunlight and precipitation. The composite material in the plates offers excellent thermal characteristics and UV stabilized construction. The white outer surface reflects radiation, while the black inside absorbs accumulated heat. The internal sensor module is easily replaceable and available as a spare part. Barometric pressure is measured using a silicon-based sensor. The temperature sensor is ceramic. Relative humidity measurement is highly accurate with negligible hysteresis and excellent long-term stability in a wide range of environments. Wind Measurement Rainfall Measurement This measurement method eliminates scattering, flooding and clogging, as well as wetting and evaporation losses. Additional Calculated Parameters
