MetPak Pro Weather Station

MetPak Pro System Diagram

MetPak Pro is a professional weather station, capable of monitoring the most essential weather parameters with the additional ability to connect up to four external measurement devices.

The system combines a WindSonic ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor, a barometric pressure sensor and Rotronic Hygroclip HC2-S3 temperature/humidity probe. Up to four additional sensors can be connected via one PRT input (temperature sensor), one digital input (rain gauge) and two analogue inputs suitable for a range of sensors (e.g water level sensor, pyranometer, pressure sensor, soil temperature sensor etc).

The system features a rugged U-bolt mounting clamp, suitable for attachment to any vertical pipe up to 50mm diameter.

Weather Station Software

The MetPak Pro weather station is provided with MetSet configuration software and MetView display software:

MetView Display Software for MetPak Pro

MetView Display Software

MetView is supplied free of charge with the MetPak Pro, offering a clear, intuitive display of the current weather conditions.

Download MetView Display Software

MetView will not only show data provided by the MetPak Pro (Temperature, Humidity, Dew Point, Pressure, Wind Speed and Wind direction) but can be expanded to display data from other sensors connected to the system.

MetSet Configuration Software for MetPak Pro

MetSet Configuration Software

MetSet is a free software package that allows the user to configure the output and display data provided by the MetPak Pro.
