Overview

MetConnect One is a professional, multi-parameter weather (or meteorological) station made by Gill Instruments (UK). It’s part of the MetConnect series, which follows on from their earlier MetPak line. MetConnect One comes with several built-in sensors (wind, temperature, humidity, pressure) and also has inputs to add more sensors. It is designed for reliability, ruggedness, and flexibility.

Typical Applications

Ports, marinas, data buoys, and commercial shipping
Meteorological measurement requiring separated sensors
Solar Park management including wind, rain and solar intensity
Agricultural research combining rain, moisture and sunlight

Key Features

High quality integrated sensors including wind (speed and direction), temperature, humidity and pressure
Inputs for rainfall, PRT (temp) and two analogue sensors
Time synchronized data available via multiple output protocols
Compact, robust, design using 316 stainless steel and IP66/67 rating
Customer support available including set-up and display software and experienced customer technical support

Benefits

Easy to configure for a wide range of applications with high quality sensors and the ability to connect additional instruments
Easy installation due to the compact, integrated physical design
Easy set-up with the support of downloadable set-up software
Easy integration with receiving controllers and loggers via a range of output protocols, and single combined data output
High levels of environmental protection and easy maintenance provided by stainless steel construction and field replaceable sensors
