MetPak II Remote Weather Station

MetPak II Weather Station with Remote Wind Sensor

MetPak II Remote is a compact and lightweight multi-sensor instrument that measures a wide range of weather parameters, with a remote WindSonic wind sensor for measurement of wind up to 10 metres away from the MetPak II Hub.

The WindSonic wind speed and direction sensor is suitable for mounting on a 10m mast, with the main MetPak II Hub fitted at a height of between 1.25m and 2m (10m cable supplied). This configuration meets the requirements of the World Meteorological Organization (Guide to Meteorological Instruments and Methods of Observation).

MetPak II remote features a barometric pressure sensor housed in a vented enclosure, and Rotronic Hygroclip HC2-S3 temperature/humidity probe housed in a naturally aspirated radiation shield. The main MetPak II unit features a rugged U-bolt mounting clamp, suitable for attachment to a vertical pipe up to 50mm diameter.

Weather Station Software

The MetPak II Remote Weather Station is provided with MetSet configuration software and MetView display software:
