> New to
the MK III is the option of a wireless yard-mounted rain gauge. This
facilitates periodic cleaning of the gauge without going onto the
roof... particularly useful where there are
a lot of trees. This wireless yard-mounted
rain gauge transmits to the MK-III at 315 MHz.
> The solar charged battery supply is guaranteed to
provide continues operation below 60 degrees
latitude. The MK III will operate for at least 60
days without sun.
> Since there is no connection between the sensors and
the power line, damage from thunderstorms
is virtually eliminated, and the sensors are immune
to power line voltage surges.
> The initial sensor calibration is for wind, temperature,
relative humidity, and barometric pressure
are traceable to the National Institute of Standards
and Technology.
> The passive solar shield for the temperature and humidity
sensors are modeled on the ones designed by
the National Weather Service
> All materials used in the sensor assembly and weather
instruments are chosen for durability and
resistance to weathering and corrosion. All of our
weather station hardware is stainless steel. The station is fabricated
from fiberglass and structural PVC and is
ultra-violet inhibited. The optional Mono
Mount is made from powder coated steel and is supplied with
bolts for mounting. |
