Columbia Weather Systems 4-20mA Module, 8 channels, with Weatherproof Enclosure

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.

Features

• Most essential weather parameters in one compact module
• 4-20 mA current output for all parameters
• Triangular design ensures excellent data availability and 360° wind measurement accuracy
• No moving parts make it superior to conventional mechanical wind sensors
• Easy to install and requires no field calibration or maintenance
• Compact and robust sensor in durable, corrosion-resistant housing

Connectivity

Included with the Orion 420 Weather Station is a 50-foot section of sensor cable which connects to the Weatherproof Enclosure.

Customer supplied 4-20 mA Signal Cables connect the Weatherproof Enclosure (screw terminal blocks) to the PLC device.

Additional monitoring options require their respective RS-232 Cable.
