WS-PRO2 Weather Station
Maxicom
2
® & SiteControl Central Control Systems
The WS-PRO2 Weather Station collects and
stores weather data from field locations. This
information is retrieved by the Central Control-
ler daily, allowing Maxicom
2
® & SiteControl to
adjust station run time and/or schedule day
cycle frequency according to each day’s ET
(evapotranspiration) and rainfall.
WS-PRO2 Weather Stations are highly ac-
curate, durable, and reliable. They are built
using the highest quality sensors available and
will provide years of reliable data even in the
toughest environments. An on-board data-
logger continually polls the sensors which
measure air temperature, relative humidity,
wind speed and direction, rainfall and solar
radiation.
Weather Station Features
• Rugged yet lightweight metal construction
• Powerful internal micro-logger for data
collection, logging, analysis, constant
communication with sensors, and storage
of 30 days of data
• Sensors monitor 6 ET/weather parameters:
air temperature (high & low), solar radiation,
relative humidity, wind speed, and rainfall –
Wind direction is also measured
• Sensors located 3 meters above ground for
added vandal resistance
• Simple-to-service sensors and internal
components
• Self-diagnostic test mechanisms: internal
moisture, battery voltage level, and test
port for local sensor check
• Internal battery charged by 120 VAC/16
VDC transformer or optional solar panels
