Columbia Weather Systems Orion 420 LT Weather Station, Heated

The Orion 420 Weather Station offers a complete weather station with 4-20 mA output for industrial PLC interface. 

Orion 420 Weather Station Includes

• Orion All-in-One Sensor Transmitter (with 50-foot cable and mounting adapter) including:
  • Radiation shield with temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure
  • Ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensors with alignment adaptor
  • Impact rainfall
• Weatherproof enclosure

  Two 4-20 mA converter modules Power supply AC surge protector

• Optional: Heaters for wind sensor
• Recommended: Bird Spike Kit, Surge Protector (Arrestor)

With ultrasonic wind measurement technology, the Orion 420 offers high accuracy and stability with 4-20 mA signal output for interface to PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems.

(Modbus/OPCcommunication is available with the Weather MicroServer monitoring any CWS weather station.)

Additionally, real time monitoring, data logging, and graphing are available with a stand-alone Weather Display Console and/or WeatherMaster Software. The Weather MicroServer can also be connected to offer Internet-ready data as well as additional industrial protocols.

HIgh resolution and accuracy make the Orion weather monitoring system ideal for high-precision weather monitoring.
