c 096*1 SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR 1.0 GENERALINFORMATION 1.1 The Model 096-1 Solar Radiation Sensor Is an accurate and sensitive sensor using a LI-COR sensing element and designed for the continous measurement of solar radiation.

Typically, the sensor is mounted with the 1289 Mounting Plate.

1 .2 Spectral Response. The relative spectral response of the silicon photodlode does not extend uniformly over the full solar radiation range. A typical response curve Is presented In Figure 1.1. The response Is very low at 0.4 µm and then Increases nearly linear lo a cutoff near 1.1 µm. Changes In the speclral distribution of the Incident llght, coupled with the non-uniform spectral response, can cause errors In the photodlode output. Hull3 shows that In the 0.4 to 0.7 µm range, the spectral distribution of sun plus sky radiation on a horizontal surface Is remarkably constant even when clear and overcast days are compared. However, Gates2 Indicates that the major change in spectral distribution of solar radiation occurs In the near lnfared where water vapor absorption takes place on cloudy days. Data collected at low solar elevations can show significant error because of altered spectral distribution which changes In atmospheric transmission. This Is a small part of the dally total so the possible observed error usually has an Insignificant effect on dally Integrations.

The area under the spectral irradiance curve of the source Is dlrecUy porportlonal to the energy received by a horizontal surface. Under specific but typical conditions, energy received on a completely overcast day has been estimated to be 11.3% of that 0 received on a clear day. When both spectral distributions are weighted according to a typical response curve of a silicon photodlode, the response on this cloudy day Is 12.6%.

Therefore, errors Incurred under different sky conditions, due to the spectral response of the photodlode, will be small. The field tests of Federer and Tanner1 and Kerr, Thurtell and Tanner4 confirm this conclusion.

1.3 Calibration. The 096-1 Pyranometer has been calibrated against an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyramonmeter (PSP) of which the calibration Is periodically confirmed. The calibration was performed under daylight conditions by a computer sampling of Instantaneous readings from the Eppley and LI-CCR pyranometers. Instantaneous readings were taken continuously for 1O minutes and then averaged. Sequential ten minute averaging periods were run from sunup to sundown for 3-4 days. These ten minute averages were then evaluated and used to compute an average calibration constant. The uncertainty of calibration Is +/- 5%.

Table 1-1 Model 096-1 Solar Radiation Sensor Specifications Calibration Calibrated against an Eppley Pyranometer under natural daylight clear conditions.

Absolute accuracy under these conditions is

+/-5%. All sensors are calibrated to within 1% of each other.

096-1 SR Rev. 7193

Sensitivity Typically 80 mlcroamp/1 ooo watts m-2.

Linearity Maximum deviation of 1% to 3000 watts m-2.

Stability Less than 2% change over a 1 year period.

Response Time (10-90%) 1O microseconds Temperature Dependence +/- .15% per °C maximum Cosine Correction Cosine corrected up to 82° angle of Incidence.

Azimuth Error Less than 1% over 360° at 45° elevation.

Sensor Case Weather-proof anodized aluminum case with diffuser and stainless steel hardware. Precision level supplied.

Mounting A 1289 Mounting Plate Is provided.

2. 0 INSTALLATION 0

2.1 096-1 Solar Radiation Sensor Installation A. Typically, the sensor Is mounted to the 1289 Mounting Plate. Refer to Figure 2-1. Using a 1552 Mounting Clamp, the radiation sensor and mounting plate may be directly mounted to Met One Instruments' Model 191 Mounting Arm, or similar.

B. For proper operation It Is necessary that the sensor be level. Level the sensor using the three outer screws. Lock Into place using three Inner screws.

C. The sensor is supplied with an attached 1832 cable. The white or red wire Is the

+ signal. The black wire is the common.

3 .O 096-1 SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR CHECK-OUT 3 .1 Model 096-1 Solar Radiation Sensor has been calibrated at the factory. It will not change unless it is damaged. To check for proper operation of the sensor, expose the sensor to bright sunlight and check datalogger or translator for reasonable output, and then completely cover the sensor with a black tape and check for an output of near zero.

096-1 SR Rev. 7193

3 .2 When this sensor is used with a Met One Instruments translator, the translator

) calibration is matched to the individual sensor. If used with dataloggers or other recording devices the use of a terminating resistor is required.

3.3 Terminating Resistor A. The resistor is used to convert the current output signal to a voltage output signal, and is required when the sensor is connected to mllllvolt recording devices.

B. A precision 1oon or1 son resistor has been supplied with the sensor to allow for the correct interface between the sensor and mllllvolt recording electronics (not required when the 096-1 Is used wjth the Met One lnstryments Translator circuit cards). Place this resistor In parallel with the slgnal leads from the sensor. The output signal is then equal to:

Mv *I

MODEL 375C ELECTRIC RAIN/SNOW SENSOR OPERATION MANUAL 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 1 *1 Model 375C Electric Heated Tipping Bucket Rain/Snow Gauge is an accurate, sensitive and low-maintenance sensor designed to measure rainfall on a continuous basis. Water does not collect in the sensor, but is drained each time an internal bucket fills with 0.01 inch of rainfall (standard calibration). At this time, a switch closure pulse is also sent to the translator module for counting. The sensor is calibrated prior to shipment and requires no adjustments after mounting.

1 .2 Sensor Cable is a vinyl-jacketed 2-conductor shielded cable connecting to the sensor via an internal terminal strip. Cable length is designated in -xx feet on each cable part number label.

1 .3 Power Cable is a vinyl-jacketed 3-conductor shielded cable connecting to the sensor heaters with wire nuts In an externally mounted J-Box. Cable length is designated In -

xx feet on each cable part number label.

2.0 INSTAUATION

2. 1 Choose a site where the height of any nearby trees or other objects above the sensor is no

(,I more than about twice their distance from the sensor. (Sample: 50 ft tree at least 100' away from gauge). A uniform surrounding of objects (such as an orchard) is beneficial as a wind break. Nonuniform surroundings (such as a nearby building) creates turbulence which affects accuracy.

2 .2 Mount the sensor lm£ll on a platform, using the built in level as an aid. The three legs can be adjusted for leveling. Three 114* diameter bolts are used to mount the sensor on a 9-21/32" (9.66") bolt circle.

2.3 Remove shipping restraint (This may be tape, rubber band, or similar item) from sensor bucket and verify that bucket moves freely and that all adjusting screws are tight.

2.4 Connect the signal cable lugs to the terminal strip if not connected already. See diagram.

Polarity is not important. See FIGURE 2*1.

2. 5 Connect the power cable to the leads Inside the condulet (see FIGURE 2-2) if not connected already.

2. 6 Replace cover on sensor, tightening screws at base.

NOTE: If snowfall is anticipated, remove primary screen from funnel.

2. 7 Route signal cable to the translator or datalogger and connecl Refer to the System

(

Interconnect Diagram in your system manual for terminal Identification.

2. 8 Route the power cable to a 11 OVAC power source protected with a 15A GFI clrcuil Connect (Ref. FIGURE 2*2). This wiring must conform to local and state wiring codes.

If you are not familiar with these codes, an electrical contractor should be used.

Warning:

A* with any AC power wiring, Improper safety procedures can cause fatal Injuries. If you are not quallfled to do this work, call an elactrlcal contractor to do It for you.

3. o OPERATlONAL CHECK-OUT 3.1 Manually actuate tip bucket mechanism (stop-to-stop) three (3) times. Confirm that 3 tips have registered on the recording equipment If not, refer to Troubleshooting Guide, Section 4-3.

4. a MAINTENANCE AND TAOUBl..ESHOOTJNG

4. 1 General Maintenance Schedule*:

At six month intervals, perform the following steps:

a. Clean sensor funnel and buckets.

b. Do NOT lubricate the pivots, as any lubricant may attract dust and dirt and cause wear of the jewel bearings.

c. Verify that buckets move freely and that translator card or datalogger registers 0.01* or as calibrated for each bucket tip.

• eased on average to adverse environments.

4.2 Calibratjon. The sensor is factory calibrated; recalibration is not required unless damage has occurred or the adjustment screws have loosened. To check or recalibrate, perform the following steps:

a. Check to be sure the sensor Is level.

b. Wet the mechanism and tipping bucket assembly. Using a graduated cylinder, slowly pour the measured quantity of water through the Inner funnel to the tipping bucket, which should then tip. Repeat for the alternate bucket. If both buckets tip when filled with the measured quantity of water, the sensor Is properly calibrated. If they do not, recalibrate as follows:

1* Release the lock nuts on the cup adjustments.

2. Move the adjustment screws down to a position that would place the bucket far out of calibration.

3. Allow the measured quantity of water to enter the bucket. {Refer to Table 4.1)

4. Tum the cup adjustment screw up until the bucket assembly tips. Tighten the lock nut.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the opposite bucket.

6. Measure the quantity of water necessary to tip each bucket several times to ensure proper calibration.

7. Replace the cover on the gauge.

2. 2 Installing the Cable. The 1169 Cable Assembly contains four wires. Install the cable into the water-tight gland and connect cable as follows:

SIG = Signal Output (Wht)

COM = Signal Common (Grn)

+12 = +12V Power (Red}

COM = Power Com (Blk) 3.0 OPERATION

3. 1 The Barometric Pressure Sensor has been calibrated at the factory, and will not change unless it is damaged. To check for proper operation of the sensor and module, it is advised that the module's output be checked against a local weather service facility.

Exact correlation Is not to be expected, due to geographical and meteorological variations. The sensor reads absolute barometric pressure, whereas local weather services readings are normalized to sea level values.

3.2 One should keep in mind that nominal pressure, at sea level, is 30 inches of mercury and that for every 1 ,000 feet of elevation, the pressure decreases approximately one Inch of mercury. EXAMPLE: A weather station at sea level may use a barometer with a Q

range of 26 to 32 inches of mercury to cover all possible weather conditions. However, a weather station, located 4,000 above sea level, would require a range of 22 to 28 inches of mercury.

Towers and Tripods 0

All meteorological systems need a means of raising the sensors to the required elevation above ground level. The standard reference point is ten meters, or approximately 33 feet , however.

measurements are frequently required at any elevation fram a few feet to several hundred feet Met One Instruments meets this need with a full line of towers, tripods, and instrument I ft systems .

Standard Stacked Towers Standard stacked towers are built on a 12" equilateral triangle of 1" steel tubing with electrically welded, continuous steel "zig-zag" cross bracing. This design results in a structure that is at least one-third stronger than competing towers . All sections are hot-dipped galvanized after fabrication for corrosion protection.

Individual 10-foot sections are light weight (31 pounds}. and are easily con -

nected to each other using double-bolted leg joints. Most installations use guying cables to anchors located at a distance of 80% of the tower he;ght. However, the structure is strong enough to be self-sup-porting using a house bracket. Several base configurations are available, incor-porating a concrete foundation Model 970664 40' guyed tower Three standard 10 foot sections, and one tapered top section of tower are provid -

ed A pier pin is provided which must be located within the foundation. The base of the tower fits over the proiecting pin to locate the tower and prevent the base from moving off the foundation . Complete guying materia s are provided , including a bracket assembly for the tower, guy cables. turnbuckles, clamps , thimbles, etc. Three anchor rods for guy points are provided, each of which requires a poured concrete foundation . Grounding rods are provided for the tower and each guy point Model970668 40'guyedtower This tower 1s identical to Model 970664, except that screw-in anchors are provid-ed for the guy points In place of the poured foundation style.

5284 Tower Lightning Rod And Grounding System 0

Introduction High voltage electrical surges caused by lightning are a common source of failure of both sensors and associated electronics. In addition to the protection devices built in to our sensors, Met One provides has provided a tower ground system. The grounding system and lightning rod will increase the likelihood that the system will survive a lightning strike. However a direct strike, no matter how well protected, will likely result in component or system failure.

The part number 5284 Tower Lightning Rod And Grounding System provides an air terminal at the top of the tower, that is connected to earth ground using a heavy gauge copper wire. It provides a direct path to ground from electrical energy caused by a strike or by the EMF of a nearby strike. The system provides a 60 degree cone of protection from the apex of the air terminal to the ground.

Installation Installation of the various components is very easy. The basic idea is to have the vertical air tenninal at the top of the tower mounted using the two clamps and cable provided. At the base of the tower a ground rod is driven into the ground and the opposite end of the cable is attached to this point. If a base grounding kit was provided with the tower, add the additional ground rod to the base grounding kit to improve the ground resistance. See Figures 1 and 2 for basic details of the installation.

If the tower base grounding kit was supplied with the tower, be sure that the heavy gauge braided copper wire is used for attachment to the ground rod. The small #4 cables should be used for the c

connection from the tower legs to the other ground rods. For maximum effectiveness of the grounding system, the ground resistance to the rod should be less than 10 ohms.

)

A. Maintenance 0 Cleanjng the Sensor Element. Unscrew the filter. Dust and other particles may be removed by gently blowing on the sensor chip. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR.

After dusting, the sensor element may be wiped clean with a soft brush dipped in distilled water. po NOT USE DETERGENTS. DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE SENSOR WHEN CLEANING, and do not reconnect power to the sensor until the element has dried.

CAUTION: NEVER TOUCH THE SENSOR CHIP WITH BARE HANDS

1. The life of the sensor is related to the environment in which it operates.

In a pure air and water vapor surrounding, the sensor element will have an indefinite life. The presence of chemical pollutants in the environment may corrode the materials of the sensor chip. The polymer material is resistant to most chemical attacks, but the metal electrodes, are sensitive to corrosion effects, particularly when a DC voltage is applied to the sensor. The most harmful pollutant has been sulphur dioxide absorption in small soot particles. When such particles fall on the thin metal electrode, they may, if water condensation is present, form traces of sulphuric acid to corrode the surface of the sensor. For these reasons, a careful cleaning as described in the preceding paragraph is recommended whenever the sensor has been exposed to corrosive pollutants. Also, a periodic cleaning every 0

two weeks with an atomizer of distilled water, thoroughly washing the chip clean, may remove harmful particles before they can damage the sensor. Be sure that no power is applied when washing the chip and that power remains off until after the chip has dried.

2. Replacement of Sensor Element. If the sensor element has been damaged, it can be easily replaced. Disconnect power to the probe. Unscrew the filter. Un~solder the old chip and solder a new one in its place. The sensor chip is very delicate, so observe the following precautions. JlQ...

NOT TOUCH THE CHIP WITH BABE HANDS. Handle the chip only by gripping its lead with pliers. When soldering, hold the lead with the pliers to prevent the heat from the soldering operation from damaging the chip. Do not bump the chip when reinstating the protective grid.

3. After replacement of the sensor element, the humidity probe must be recalibrated.

0 Humjditv Probe Calibration.

1* Before attempting to recalibrate the probe, make sure that the translator module containing the signal conditioning electronics is still properly calibrated. If 0% and 100% do not produce corresponding readings on the indicator, recalibrate the translator module.

2. The calibration method described in this instruction manual Is based on the constant water vapor pressure over saturated salt solutions and constant temperature. Materials used for the calibration are Lithium Chloride {UCI) and Sodium Chloride (NaCl). The former creates a humidity of approximately 13% and the latter approximately 76% in 68°F {20°C) ambient temperature. Both of these chemical agents are available from chemical suppliers. To guarantee accurate calibration, the salts must be of high purity.

TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:

2 Calibration Bottles: HM*111*CG*L and HM-111-CB-N Lithium Chloride Salts, Reagent Grade 1 Sodium Chloride, Reagent Grade 1 Thermometer to measure ambient temperature Distilled water

3. Preparations for Calibratjon Refer to instructions with the calibration bottles for mixing the solutions.

0 The calibration bottles can be used for up to one year without changing fresh chemicals. The bottles should be stored in a place with constant temperature, so as to have them ready for use with just a short preparation time. Do not shake the bottle with salt solution before use. Care should be taken to see that there are no droplets of salt solution inside the mouth piece of the bottle. This might affect the accuracy of the calibration. Do not get any salt solution on the sensor element directly.

3. Read the ambient room temperature.

4. Note the humidity percentage from the lithium chloride calibration table, which corresponds to the temperature in question.

5. After 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, read the humidity value, If the reading differs from the table value, adjust 815, zero adjust.

6. After use, close the bottle tightly with the rubber plug.

D. CALIBRATION FOR HIGH HUMIDITY (76%)

Repeat the calibration procedure as described above, but now using the sodium chloride. Adjust R18 (span adjustment) if necessary.

E. Repeat steps C and D until no further adjustments are required.

MODEL 510070 RELATIVE HUMIDITY CALIBRATOR ()

1 .0 GENERAL INFORMATION 1 *1 Suitable for all probes. Calibration by means of lithium chloride and sodium chloride saturated salt solutions. Bottles for salt solutions in metal box providing stable temperature. Due to the minimal space of air above the salt solution no ventilation is needed. Solid construction. Humidity and Temperature scale for each salt solution printed on the box lid. A thermometer situated between the salt bottles in the box provides a very reliable calibration.

2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 024A Wind Direction Sensor Installation (See FIGURE 2*1)

A Prior to installing the wind direction sensor on the crossarm remove the stainless steel screw from the hub and rotate the vane assembly slowly. It should rotate smoothly without hesitation or binding. Inspect the vane assembly to be sure it is not bent or damaged. Replace the screw in the hub.

B. Install the sensor in the bushing end of the mounting arm. The screw in the bushing will pass through the bushing and will tighten into the sensor housing.

C. Loosen the two set screws holding bushing and orient the sensor so that the counterweight is pointing south. The use of a transiVcompass will assure accurate alignment. When the sensor is properly aligned tighten the crossarm fitting set screws and remove the stainless steel screw from the hub. The sensor may be removed and replaced without realignment by removing the mounting screw in the alignment bushing.

D.

0 Remove and retain shoulder screw (11). Check to see that the vane assembly rotates freely.Rotate the sensor assembly until the counterweight is pointing due south.

E. Connect the cable assembly to the keyed sensor receptacle and tape it to the mounting arm.

2 .2 Wiring. The cable assembly contains three wires. Typical wiring hookup is shown in FIGURE 2*1.

2 .3 lightning Protection. Weather sensors are sensitive to direct or nearby lightning strikes. A well-grounded metal rod or frame should be placed above the sensor installation. In addition, the shield on the signal cable leading to the translator must be connected to be a good earth ground at the translator end, and the cable route should not be vulnerable to lightning.

024A Revised 6/94

3. o OPERATIONAL CHECK-OUT AND CALIBRATION

3. 1 024 Wind Direction Sensor Check-Out A. Rotating the vane in a clockwise direction as viewed from above will increase the output up to the 360° point and it will start over 0°.

B. The 024A wind direction sensor should be inspected periodically for physical damage to the vane assembly and cable connections. Inspect all vane assembly parts to be sure that they are securely fastened. Inspect the sensor connector and mating cable connector for corrosion.

( Model 550502 Evaporation Gauge Operation Manual

1. 0 INTRODUCTION

1. 1 Description The Model 550502 Analog Output Evaporation Gauge was designed to accurately measure the changing water level in an evaporation pan and provide an electrical signal proportional to the water level from which the evaporation rate can be determined.

Although it can be used with a wide variety of evaporation systems, it is normally used with a standard Class A, National Weather Service evaporation pan. The gauge consists of a Hoat, pulley, and counterweight attached to a precision 1000 ohm potentiometer, all mounted in a protective enclosure.

2. 0 INSTALLATION

2. 1 After carefully unpacking all components, inspect for damage that may have occurred in shipment. Do not discard any packing material until you are certain there is no damage and all items are accounted for, including accessories. In the event of damage during shipment, a claim for loss should be filed with carrier at the receiving location.

2. 2 Remove the top cap and remove the float, chain, and counterweight which are packed in the housing for shipping.

2. 3 The gauge is connected to the pan by using 1/2" diameter pipe. Flexible tubing is acceptable provided it is not subject to deterioration. The gauge should be placed tar enough away from the pan so that it will not cast a shadow on the pan that could have an effect on the evaporation process.

2. 4 Level gauge by placing a level on the housing in front of the gear and adjusting the leveling screws on the triangular base until the unit is level.

2. 5 After connecting the gauge to the pan and securing all electncal connections. till evaporation pan with a* of water and carefully check all joints for leaks.

2.6 The pulley and the potentiometer housing have been marked with indicators that line up when the potentiometer is approximately at the breakpoint between zero and 1000 ohms 0 resistance. To obtain the exact breakpoint for zeroing or base setting, use an ohmmeter across the white and red wires or use the actual readout device that will be used with the unit when in operation.

2. 7 The lloat chain should be placed on the pulley so that the :loat rests on the tcp of the water {8" in the evaporation pan) when the pulley is at the breakpoint. For operation, the float chain is placed on the pulley so that a falling level of water will cause c!ockw1se (as seen from the front of the pulley) motion in the pulley and a decrease in resistance in the potentiometer output. Refer to the assembly diagram.

2. 8 Carefully secure housing cover into place with allen screws.

3. O CPEAATlCN The potentiometer produces a proportional output in relation to the position of the float and can be monitored on site with a datalogger or strip chart recorder.

4. 1 Always disconnect the reporting/recording device from power or troubleshoot immediately whenever any of the following conditions are observed: the cable has been damaged, the gauge does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, the gauge has been dropped or damaged, or it moisture damage has occurred to the circuits.

4. 2 If the gauge does not register correctly, first check the connections. Check the potentiometer with a voltmeter. Be sure the reporting/recording device has been powered*up correctly. If the reporting/recording device uses batteries for its primary source of power, check that the batteries have sufficient voltage to power the device.

4 .3 Check the sensor cable connections both at the gauge and at the control unit. Cable shorts can cause lack of readings. If a connection is found to be lose, tighten into place and check to see if the problem has been corrected.

WeatherHawk Series 500 General

Description:

The WeatherHawk Series 500 family of weather stations measure and record wind speed and direction, air temperature and relative humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation, and rain. In addition, the system calculates and exports an evapotranspiration (ET) value that can be used by third party systems for irrigation control. They are designed for applications where a minimal visual impact, high reliability, and a long interval between routine servicing are significant factors in the decision to purchase. The standard Series 500 system incorporates an integral 3 AHr battery pack and can be interfaced with an optional solar panel for high reliability applications.

The Series 500 family is fully compatible with all versions of software, data management, input power and mounting accessories designed for the WeatherHawk Signature Series. It is also backwards compatible with all third party certified software drivers.

The Series 500 WeatherHawk systems utilize solid state sensors, with no moving parts. Solid state sensors enable a low profile design better suited to high visibility locations where a traditional weather station would be visually objectionable; they have higher reliability and a longer interval between routine service and inspection requirements; they are more robust and less susceptible to damage from wind carried debris; and they are not impaired by heavy snowfall or freezing conditions that produce rime ice (NOTE: Heated sensor versions, Models 511/521, must be used in snow or freeze zone applications).

Models 510/511 These versions of the Series 500 weather station are directly connected to a host device (PC or server) through an RS232 serial data I/O located on the bottom of the weather station. The Model 511 incorporates a thermostatically controlled heater element in the sensor head that keeps the ultrasonic wind sensor elements and the piezometric precipitation sensor surface free of snow and ice to -52° C.

Models 520/521 These versions of the Series 500 weather station are wireless to a host device (PC or server) using fully integrated industrial grade 916 MHz spread spectrum RF communications technology. They also have an RS232 serial data I/O located on the bottom of the weather station, which can be used as a second serial communications port, or for programming and testing the system, or for direct data downloads using a PC or PDA. The Model 521 also incorporates a thermostatically controlled heater element in the sensor head that keeps the ultrasonic wind sensor elements and the piezometric precipitation sensor surface free of snow and ice to -52° C. Optional configurations of both units enable replacement of the 916 MHz RF components with 922 MHz and 2.4 GHz RF components to comply with local, regional or national radio frequency licensing requirements.

Sensor Technologies Series 500 WeatherHawk weather stations employ the latest in weather measurement sensors. Wind speed and direction use acoustic techniques formerly available on only the most expensive professional wind velocity measurement systems. Rain is measured using an impact surface that literally counts the raindrops and measures their acoustic signature, integrating that information to provide a near real-time value for rainfall amount and rate. Barometric pressure, relative humidity, air temperature and solar radiation measurements are made by calibrated scientific grade sensors typically installed in the finest professional weather measurement and monitoring systems.

Wind Speed & Direction is measured by a sensor consisting of three equally spaced ultrasonic transducers in a horizontal plane. The sensor measures the bi-directional transit time along the three paths established by the transducer array. This transit time is dependent on the wind velocity across the ultrasonic path. For zero wind velocity, both the forward and reverse transit times are identical; with wind, the upwind transit time increases and the downwind time decreases. The values of any two array paths will enable computation of both wind speed and direction, and a signal processing technique enables the measurement to be calculated using the two array paths of the best quality. If the system is used in a high accuracy application a factory revalidation is recommended every five years.

Rainfall is measured with a stainless steel piezometric surface on top of the weather station. As individual raindrops (or hailstones) impact on the surface they each provide an acoustic signature that is measured and processed in real-time to give a value for their volume. The volume is then processed with respect to time to provide a rainfall rate. This measurement technique eliminates all of the traditional problems with tipping bucket type rainfall measurement devices, including worn or damaged bearings, clogged funnels and drip orifices, and damage from wind blown debris.

Air temperature and relative humidity CRH) sensors are combined In an integrated, user replaceable unit that requires no calibration. The RH sensor is a thin polymer, capacitive type sensor that degrades with exposure due to age and airborne contaminates. It should be user replaced every three years to maintain accuracy, and at a shorter interval if the location is subject to high levels of air pollution or is subject to airborne chemical spraying. The air temperature sensor is a capacitive ceramic sensor that is typically not subject to environmental degradation.

Barometric pressure is measured with a capacitive silicon temperature corrected strain gauge device that is typically not degraded by environmental exposure and does not require calibration after manufacture.

Solar Radiation is measured by a silicon pyranometer with a cut filter limiting the spectral exposure to the 300-1100 nm wavelength. This device typically degrades at a rate of 2% of the full scale value each year and should be recalibrated, or replaced every 3-5 years, depending on the application.

Data Transfer Protocols, Software and Data Interface Hardware All WeatherHawk systems communicate using a proprietary Pakbus protocol. Any qualified software developer may request a software development kit, at no charge, to assist in the development of software drivers for third party devices or software.
