Portable meteorological station AMS 159P
AMS 159P is small, lightweight, computerised, low power portable meteorological station for ground measurements in special conditions (terrain, mobile unit, stationary unit with limited number of sensors, pollution measurements).
AMS 159P is small, lightweight, computerised, low power portable meteorological station for ground measurements in special conditions. It replaces previous model, PMP 124A.
Main features of AMS159P are:
-
can be easily transported
-
can be assembled quickly and is fully operational immediately after the assembling
-
measures parameters important for ballistics, chemical protection, radiological protection, and aviation meteorology
-
no need to orient the mast, due to the integrated electronic compass
-
high accuracy
-
simple operation
-
long autonomy with the built in battery
-
internal data storage
-
data transfer
Station consists of:
-
Meteorological mast with the accessories
-
Measuring unit AMS 159P
-
battery charger
-
Wind sensor VMT 107
-
Air temperature sensor DTE 75A
-
Combined air temperature / relative humidity sensor DTV 124
-
Soil temperature sensor DTZ 124
-
Built in air-pressure sensor
Station is powered by the built in hermetically sealed battery. It is also possible to power it from the mains through the power supply unit or from an external 12V battery. The internal battery powers the station for at least 24 hours.
