Meteorological / Hydrological Station AMS 156
AMS156 is powerful and compact electronical meteorological - hydrological station.
- Quick installation
- Measures flexible set of parameters
- Simple to use
- High accuracy
- Low power consumption
- Possible powering with alternative energy sources (wind, solar panels)
- Internal data storage, expandable with SD memory cards
- Communication over RS 232, RS 485 or Ethernet
AMS156 is low-cost, compact, lightweight, computerised, low power meteorological station for ground measurements. Electronics of the station is enclosed in a cabinet that can be mounted on a standard mounting DIN rail. IP 65 protected cabinet can be used to mount AMS156 outside.
Station can accept all standard meteorological sensors (temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, ground temperature, precipitation, etc.). Other sensors (hydrological, radiological, environmental....) can also be connected. Meteorological calculations, such as evaporation, sunshine duration, QFF, QFE, QNH, dew point, automatic SYNOP generation, etc, can be incorporated in the station software. It measures current data and calculates, in selected time intervals, averages, maximum, minimum, sums, etc..
AMS156 has internal Flash memory, which can be enlarged by standard removable SD memory cards.
Station has internal data memory, 8 12-bit and 8 16-bit analog inputs, 18 digital inputs and 4 digital counters, all with extension possibility and can communicate through RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet network.
