Second-generation innovations

METER’s in-house research and development team have been working hard to make the ATMOS 41 Gen 2 more accurate, durable, and reliable than ever before. Wind speed can now be measured up to 60 m/s, meeting the requirements of even more industry standards, such as the IEC61724-1, making it ideal for applications such as utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems, and closer than ever to WMO guidelines.

The Gen 2 also provides a precipitation electrical conductivity (EC) measurement, more accurate precipitation measurements thanks to dual rain gauges, easier installation with built-in leveling bracket, and the option of MODBUS communication. Add in improved durability with more UV-resistant components, easier maintenance and serviceability, and a faster WMO-compliant sensor scan rate, and you’ve got the next generation in research-grade all-in-one weather stations.

Feature summary

• Research weather station measures 12 weather variables including: air temperature, relative humidity, vapor pressure, barometric pressure, wind speed, gust and direction, solar radiation, dual precipitation, precipitation EC, lightning strike counter and distance
• Wind speed measurements up to 60 m/s
• Easy installation with built-in leveling bracket
• Easy maintenance and serviceability with new side panel for accessing internal components
• Only one moving part
• All weather station data transmitted over a single wire
• Choose either Digital SDI-12 communication or combined MODBUS and Digital SDI-12 communication
• WMO-compliant sensor scan rate
• Connect to ZL6 for data capture and management
• Designed for continuous deployment in harsh climates
• No louvered radiation shield to attract bugs
• Accurate at low wind speeds because of limited moving parts will cause friction or fail
• Detects fine-scale wind speed variations with 0.01 m/s resolution
• Integrated weather station accelerometer detects if sensor is off-level
• Integrated spring acts as a rain gauge filter to keep out large particles but still allow enough water flow
• Optional bird deterrent fits perfectly on the weather station funnel
