150WXS WeatherStation® Instrument

Part Number150WXS

Compass with Solar-radiation Shield

Airmar’s WeatherStation 150WXS provides accurate, site-specific, weather data from a single compact device. It measures seven critical weather parameters in real-time. The compact housing features ultrasonic wind and barometric pressure measurements. Plus the solar radiation shield increases the accuracy and stability of temperature and relative humidity readings. The maintenance-free features of the 150WXS makes it perfect for remote mounting as a network of stationary sensors—an integral component of a comprehensive weather station.

Ultrasonic measurement of apparent wind speed and direction
Barometric pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity readings with calculated dew point, heat index, and wind chill
Internal compass for wind speed data referenced to magnetic north
GPS for time stamping and correcting for the variation between magnetic and true north
Rugged, compact, UV stabilized housing with no moving parts
