The Dyacon MS-140-104 is a solar-powered weather station with embedded cell phone that provides excellent installation flexibility and portability.
The MS-140-104 has been configured specifically to meet agricultural (e.g., the grower's) needs. The ability to monitor local soil and weather conditions helps growers be able to more effectively evaluate irrigation requirements and manage resource allocation. It includes a standard complement of air and wind sensors as well as soil moisture and soil temperature gauges. Upon installation of the weather station, weather reports and alarms will be sent directly to the user's cell phone as text messages.
No special software, websites, or computer programs are required. Alerts can be set for low soil moisture, temperatures outside a designated range, lightning, high wind, humidity, and other conditions.
The MS-140-104 is designed to be efficiently and easily set up right out of the box; adding the optional Dyacon Tripod-1 is particularly helpful for easy setup. Tripod not included.
Features:
- Shipped with the control module, wind sensor (WSD-1), air sensor (TPH-1), solar module, soil moisture sensor, and submersible temperature probe.
- This wireless weather station includes an integrated cell phone for SMS weather reports and data uploads to Weather Underground.
- A 24-bit ADC digital pressure sensor has the capability of delivering 10 cm (+/- 1.5 mbar) resolution. Barometric pressure is contained in the TPH-1 sensor.
- The included Dyacon control module utilizes a cellular module for command and control as well as for weather reports.
- The control module is equipped with both USB device and Modbus slave ports for connecting to data hosting equipment, such as PCs or programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
