- High-quality compact integrated weather station
- No moving parts
- Accurate and rugged solid state sensors
- Measures wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, pressure and solar radiation
- Multiple additional derived parameters
- Built in electronic 2-axis compass
- SDI-12 enabled
The high performance GMX501 compact weather station is simple to install, use and maintain.
In addition to providing 6 measured parameters – the GMX501 can derive multiple additional parameters based on combining measured parameters, such as gust, average wind speed and dew point.
A neat, powerful and flexible weather monitoring solution
The GMX501 is engineered to ensure high measurement accuracy, low maintenance, and reliable continuous status reporting. It includes a range of sensor configurations allowing customers to select the model most appropriate to their needs.
The GMX501’s data is output as a single string which is available on a range of communications protocols – SDI-12 is default, but can be switched by user to MODBUS, RS232, RS422, RS485 or NMEA*.
Key benefits
- High quality measurement data due to careful sensor selection and extensive design testing and verification.
- Easy to set-up and integrate using comprehensive software to select the reported and derived parameters and measurement units required.
- Easy to install and long operational life, due to a compact, robust design and the selection of low maintenance sensors.
- Suitable for use with battery or solar systems in low power mode.
Typical applications
- Control systems including agriculture, smart buildings, and industry.
- Solar farms.
- Road and rail.
- Ports and harbours.
- Reporting systems for transport and safety.
- Low power/solar powered deployments and IoT applications.
