Data Acquisition Stations (DAS)
METEODATA/HYDRODATA Automatic Weather and Hydrological Stations measure, store, and transmit data and images. They are specially designed for outdoor installation in remote unattended areas, and provide the possibility of creating systems or networks of stations made up of an undetermined number of field stations and one or more Central Stations for receiving, displaying, storing and processing all the information received.
Air relative humidity sensors
TRH gives relative humidity measurements with high accuracy and reliability. The sensor is composed by a laser-cut capacitive polymer transducer connected to an electronic signal conditioning board. The sensing element is housed into a special filtering structure which ensures a proper functioning of the sensor even in critical conditions where generally dust, water and dirt can occur. This structure makes the transducer less sensitive to aging and consequently to recalibration.
Visibility and Present Weather Sensor
