Weather Stations
Comptus provides custom configured weather stations for environmental monitoring projects from basic to sophisticated. Comptus can integrate the sensors, data collection platform, power supply and communications needed to provide a complete system. In addition to the popular sensors in our A70 Series we can supply higher performance sensors. Power supply options include photovoltaics, 120 VAC and 230 VAC with battery back up as well as photovoltaic for remote systems. Popular communications include direct connect, telephone and cellular telephone.

Systems are available with outputs of 0-1 mA, 0-1 V or 4-20 mA. All systems may be powered from either photovoltaics, 120 VAC, 230 VAC or 12 - 24 VDC.

The instruments are available in a variety of packages including steel JIC boxes meeting NEMA 12 standards, weatherproof fiberglass enclosures meeting NEMA 4X, IP66 and IEC 529 standards and track mounted versions. NEMA 12 enclosures provide protection from dust for indoor applications. NEMA 4X enclosures may be used indoors or outdoors. They provide protection from corrosion, wind blown dust and rain and are undamaged by ice. Track mounted versions are intended for mounting inside an enclosure provided by the user. Where required, electrical connection to the sensor is via terminal block. A barrier strip is provided for connection to operating power.

Each system is provided with a detailed instruction manual.
