Description

Tech Specs

The Orion 420 Weather Station offers a complete weather station for industrial PLC interface, measuring wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure and precipitation. With ultrasonic technology, the Orion 420 offers high accuracy and stability. Users will be able to monitor weather data on their PLC plant software such as Wonderware.

Features
� Six most essential weather parameters measured in one instrument.
� 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.
� Starting threshold for both wind speed and direction is virtually zero.

Standard system includes:
� Orion Sensor Transmitter with 50 foot cable and mounting adapter
� Weatherproof Enclosure with two 4-20 mA converter modules and power supply

Optional:
Heater for wind sensor, additional cost and AC power required
Surge Arrestor (recommmended, additional cost)
Bird Spike Kit (recommended, additional cost or see model #9421-A-1)

SUMMARY OVERVIEW

Wind Measurement
Both wind speed and direction are measured using advanced
ultrasonic technology. The sensor utilizes ultrasound to determine
horizontal wind readings. The array of three equally-spaced ultrasonic
transducers on a horizontal plane is an ideal design that
ensures accurate wind measurement from all directions, without
blind angles or corrupted readings.

The wind sensor has no moving parts, which makes it virtually
maintenance free.

Rainfall Measurement
Rainfall is measured with an impact sensor, which detects the size
and impact of individual rain drops. The signals resulting from the
impacts are proportional to the volume of the drops. Hence, the signal
from each drop can be converted directly to the accumulated rainfall.
This measurement method eliminates flooding and clogging, as well
as wetting and evaporation losses.

Barometric Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity
Barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity measurements are
combined in an advanced sensor module utilizing a capacitive
measurement method for each parameter.

Barometric pressure is measured using a silicon-based sensor.
The sensor has minimal hysteresis and excellent repeatability, as
well as outstanding temperature and long-term stability.

Temperature is measured with a ceramic sensor.

Relative humidity measurement is based on capacitive technology.

The sensor is highly accurate with negligible hysteresis and
excellent long-term stability in a wide range
of environments.

This module is mounted in a specially-designed radiation shield
which protects the sensors from both scattered and direct sunlight
and precipitation. The composite material in the plates offers excellent
thermal characteristics and UV stabilized construction. The
white outer surface reflects radiation, while the black inside absorbs
accumulated heat.

The internal sensor module is easily replaceable and readily available
as a spare component.
