A complete weather station from Davis Instruments (USA): one integrated sensor unit on a mast, sending its readings wirelessly to a colour touchscreen console up to 300 m away in open field.
What it measures
- Outdoor temperature (−40 to +65 °C) and humidity
- Wind speed (from 3 km/h; tested to 290 km/h) and direction
- Rain, with a self-emptying collector in 0.2 mm steps
- Barometric pressure, indoor temperature and humidity (in the console), and the dew point, heat index and feels-like temperature it calculates
How it works
- The sensor unit runs on its own solar panel, with a supercapacitor for the night and a lithium battery as backup.
- The console updates every 2.5 seconds, keeps charts and records, and can hold up to 22 alarms: frost, strong wind, heavy rain and more.
- The console runs on mains power (230 V) and uploads to Davis WeatherLink over Wi-Fi. The current readings are free there; history and reports need a WeatherLink subscription, paid by card directly to Davis (about 4 USD a month per station).
Good to know
- The mast is not included (a 32–44 mm pipe); a tripod and installation with training are available.
- 1-year warranty in Romania, manual in Romanian.
- From stock, or in about 15–20 working days.
