WeatherHawk Series 600
General Description:
The WeatherHawk Series 600 family of weather stations measure and record wind
speed and direction; air temperature and relative humidity; barometric pressure and
solar radiation; rainfall and snowfall. In addition, the system calculates and exports
an evapotranspiration (ET) value that can be used by third party systems for
irrigation control. Series 600 weather stations are designed for applications where a
minimal visual impact, high reliability, and a long interval between routine servicing
are significant factors in the decision to purchase. The standard Series 600 system
incorporates an integral 3 AHr battery pack, which is continually recharged by an
external primary power source. Model 620 and 610 systems can be interfaced with
an optional solar panel, while Model 621 and 611 systems require an AC power
converter. All Series 600 weather stations are suitable for applications requiring high
reliability.
The Series 600 family is fully compatible with most versions of software, data
management, input power and mounting accessories designed for the WeatherHawk
Signature and 500 Series weather stations.
The Series 600 WeatherHawk systems utilize solid state sensors, with no moving
parts. Solid state sensors enable a low profile design better suited to high visibility
locations where a traditional weather station would be visually objectionable; they
have higher reliability and a longer interval between routine service and inspection
requirements; they are more robust and less susceptible to damage from wind
carried debris; and they are not compromised by heavy snowfall or freezing
conditions that produce rime ice (NOTE: Heated sensor versions, Models 611/621,
must be used in snow or freeze zone applications).
Models 610/611
These versions of the Series 600 weather station are directly connected to a host
device (PC or server) through an RS232 serial data I/O located on the bottom of the
weather station. The Model 611 incorporates a thermostatically controlled heater
element in the sensor head that keeps the ultrasonic wind sensor elements and the
radar precipitation sensor surface free of snow and ice to –50
o
C.
Models 620/621
These versions of the Series 600 weather station are wireless to a host device (PC or
server) using fully integrated industrial grade 916 MHz spread spectrum RF
communications technology. They also have an RS232 serial data I/O located on the
bottom of the weather station, which can be used as a second serial communications
port, or for programming and testing the system, or for direct data downloads using
a PC or PDA. The Model 621 also incorporates a thermostatically controlled heater
element in the sensor head that keeps the ultrasonic wind sensor elements and the
radar precipitation sensor surface free of snow and ice to –50
o
C. Optional
configurations of both units enable replacement of the 916 MHz RF components with
