LoRaWAN Microclimate Monitoring Station
The Microclimate Monitoring Station is comprised of a S-Node with 6.5Ah internal lithium-ion battery, 7W solar panel with mounting, and an ATMOS 14 relative humidity, barometric pressure, air temperature, and vapour pressure sensor.
Optional sensors include:
Weatherproof
Thanks to its unique Teflon screen, the relative humidity sensor can survive a deluge. Naturally, it won’t be transmitting accurately while waterlogged; but as soon as it has dried out, it’s back in the game.
Fast Response
The Teflon screen protects the sensor from liquid water and dust without limiting diffusion of water vapour. The protected sensor is still able to quickly respond to changes in humidity.
Integrated Temperature for Accuracy
Accurate relative humidity readings require accurate air temperature readings taken at the same place and time. This sensor takes both measurements simultaneously for the best possible accuracy.
Radiation Shield Included
The included radiation shield is designed to improve air temperature readings by minimising radiation and maximising airflow over the surface of the sensor. Specially designed to preserve the correlation between actual air temperature and sensor air temperature while keeping the shield size small.
