A
special thanks to the folks at
Oregon
Scientific who chose to support our weather project by
replacing our system with a newer model.
|
Both
our hardware and weather software were originally purchased from Ambient
LLC.
They
offered excellent pre and post sales support, as well as great prices.
The solution that we chose is automated and requires
very little maintenance once installed and configured
properly.

No
more stretching wires under windows or through walls! Now you
can monitor weather and environmental conditions in and outside
of your home or office with this complete Cable Free™ Weather
Station. This comprehensive monitoring and forecasting center
features exciting, innovative wireless outdoor sensors that use
solar power and radio-frequencies to communicate with the
touchscreen-activated indoor LCD control unit with bright blue
HiGlo™ backlighting.
The system features
memories for all conditions, such as high and low temperatures,
as well as optional user-set alarms for all monitoring
functions. Each alarm activates an audible/visual warning
condition when a pre-set value, such as a wind-chill reading, is
reached.
An optional PC Link cable
(RS-232) plus two accessory software packages enable monitoring
and graphing all weather conditions on a personal computer. |
The
Cable Free™ Weather Station includes these remote sensors:
 The
Thermo-Hygrometer
The Thermo-Hygrometer measures outdoor temperature and
relative humidity. The outdoor temperature operating range
is –58°F
to 158°F
and has an accuracy resolution of 0.2°F;
the relative humidity operating range is 2% to 96%RH with an
accuracy resolution of 1%. Updating of information to the
display unit occurs every 37-seconds. The Thermo-Hygrometer
is powered by a solar cell with battery backup. |
 The
Anemometer
The anemometer measures wind speed and direction. The
anemometer wind speed operating range is up to 125 miles
per hour and has a accuracy resolution of +/- (plus or
minus) 0.4mph. In steady wind conditions the anemometer
transmits new readings to the display unit once every
minute; in gusty conditions, gust updating occurs every
14-seconds. Wind direction operating range is 0°F
to 359°F.
Data transmission to the display unit occurs every
5-seconds. The anemometer is powered by a solar cell
with battery backup. |
 The
Baro-Hygrometer
The Baro-Hygrometer measures indoor temperature and
humidity, and barometric pressure. The temperature
operating range is 23°F-122°F
with an accuracy resolution of 0.2°F;
this data is transmitted to the display unit every
38-seconds. The humidity operating range is 2% to 96%RH
with an accuracy resolution of 1%. Updating of relative
humidity information to the display unit occurs every
37-seconds. The barometric pressure operating range is
23.48 inHg to 31.01 inHg with an accuracy resolution of
0.03 inHg. Data updating to the display unit of relative
humidity occurs once an hour. 4 AAA-sized batteries
power the Baro-Hygrometer. |
 The
Rain Gauge
The Rain Gauge measures rainfall in millimeter
increments reflecting current rainfall or accumulation
of up to nine (9) days’ history. The Rain Gauge
features a self-emptying collection unit. The rainfall
measurement range is 0" to 39.97" per hour
with a cumulative operating range of 0" to
393.7". The rainfall accuracy resolution is 1 mm
(0.04").
Data to the display unit is updated every 47-seconds.
The Rain Gauge is powered by a solar cell with battery
backup. |
