Description

High performance technology

The aerodrome and heliport weather station is designed to monitor the weather conditions in all kind of aviation safety applications. The station consists of a high capacity datalogger that serves as the hub of the whole system, supplying each of the sensors individually and capturing the data they provide for subsequent storage, download, processing and monitoring through the included software. The datalogger also allows carrying out statistical calculations with the data registered by the sensors. The LCD display shows different system parameters, such as the active channels, the memory configuration, the battery charge, etc.

Included measurements

  • Wind speed and direction.
  • Temperature and humidity.
  • Dew point.
  • Atmospheric pressure.

Additional measurements

  • Rain and rain rate.
  • Solar and UV radiation.
  • Runway temperature.
  • Runway condition.
  • Snow depth.
  • Visibility and present weather.
  • Cloud height.
  • Air quality.
  • Lightning detection.

Compact and weatherproof design

The station features a compact design and is entirely made of corrosion resistant materials to ensure high resistance to weathering. The weatherproof enclosure features a double seal to ensure maximum protection of the electronics from dust, moisture and other external agents. The optional heater of specific sensors is activated automatically at temperatures around 4ºC, preventing the accumulation of ice and snow and allowing precise measurements at low temperatures or during and after a snowfall.

Maximum connectivity

The station features several communication options and allows sending data to the Internet from remote locations that do not have their own communication system or staff on site. Additionally, it can be powered from a solar panel and a battery for a total autonomy.

Multitude of applications

Its outstanding versatility makes it ideal for all kind of applications, the main ones being:

  • Aerodromes.
  • Heliports.
  • Airfields.
  • Jumping and landing areas.
  • Air shows and competitions.
