The MetSens600 compact weather sensor measures wind speed and direction via an ultrasonic sensor, as well as air temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure, in a single, combined instrument mounted inside three double-louvered, naturally aspirated radiation shields with no moving parts. An optical precipitation sensing element senses fine amounts of water. An integrated electronic compass allows the MetSens600 to provide accurate, relative wind direction measurements without being oriented in a particular way, making installation easier. WMO average wind speed and direction and gust, temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, absolute humidity, air density, wet bulb temperature, rainfall total, and rainfall intensity data are provided. The MetSens600 is compatible and easily integrated with the MeteoPV Solar Resource Platform and any Campbell Scientific data logger using SDI-12, RS-485, ModbusRS-485, or NMEA RS-232.
