Weather Stations for Weather Monitor (Ultrasonic Wind Speed and Direction only, Compass, GPS) MX200

Main Description Especially ideal for mobile installations, Magellan MX Weather Stations combine the
convenience of an all-in-one multi-parameter weather sensor with an internal compass
and GPS. Four different models offer sensor options including:
• Ultrasonic wind speed and direction measurement
• A combined temperature, pressure, humidity instrument mounted inside three
double louvered, naturally aspirated radiation shields
• Optical rain gauge provides measurements based on the size and number of drops   Optional Model Number : MX600: rain gauge, ultrasonic wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, compass, GPS
MX500: ultrasonic wind speed and direction, pressure, temperature, relative humidity, compass, GPS
MX300: pressure, temperature, relative humidity (no compass or GPS)
MX200: ultrasonic wind speed and direction only, compass, GPS  
Magellan MX Weather Stations Feature
• Weather-protected sensor unit designed for maximum portability and utility
• GPS for compensated wind speed
• Automatic self-alignment of wind direction using internal compass
• No mechanical components means virtually no maintenance
• Low power consumption – ideal for battery or solar-powered installations
• One-year warranty   Parameter Measurements
Temperature / Pressure / Humidity
A combined instrument of solid state devices mounted inside three double
louvered, naturally aspirated radiation shields with no moving parts. The
special shield plate geometry, with its double louvre design, provides excellent
response time performance of quick ambient temperature changes while still
working effectively as a baffle to stop larger contaminants such as salt or dirt
from reaching the sensors. The result is high performance across each
measurement.
Wind Measurement
Wind speed and direction measurements are provided via an ultrasonic
sensor. An electronic compass provides apparent wind measurements. GPS
provides true wind and other features.
Precipitation
An integrated optical rain gauge that automatically senses water hitting its
outside surface and provides measurements based on the size and number of
drops. Algorithms interpret this data and simulate the output of a tipping
bucket rain gauge. The optical rain gauge has no moving parts associated
with tipping bucket gauges.
Compass
The 2-axis compass and magnetic field sensing module uses Magneto-
Inductive (MI) sensors. The sensor incorporates a temperature and noise
stabilized oscillator/counter circuit. The compass has a high degree of
azimuth accuracy. Wind direction data iscorrected for the orientation of the
sensor. The output of the wind direction is relative to magnetic North.
The compass is calibrated at at the factory for optimal declination at delivery
location before the unit is shipped.
GPS
A highly accurate GPS antenna receiver module including a ceramic GPS
patch antenna. Small size and highend GPS functionality are combined with
low power consumption.
Additional Calculated Parameters
With WeatherMaster Software or the Weather MicroServer, data from these
sensors are computed to provide calculated parameters including Dew Point,
Heat Index, Wind Chill, Degree-Day Temperatures and Density Altitude.     Sensor Specifications Temperature
