Product code: IC-6820
3+$1,467.65ex. GST
5+$1,452.75ex. GST
10+$1,437.85ex. GST
Features:
- Temperature and humidity sensors are housed inside a radiation shield. The shield protects against solar radiation and other sources of radiated and reflected heat.
- Detachable anemometer provides wind speed and direction and can be sited up to 12 m above the other sensors.
- Ability to add UV sensor.
- Add cellular-based, solar-powered Wireless Vantage Connect to upload your weather data to the internet. Get real-time alerts for frost, evapotranspiration, high winds or other conditions you specify.
- Comes with the new Aerocone rain gauge offering more accurate measurements in strong wind conditions.
