Communication Options for Orion LX Weather Stations

Wireless Transceivers - 2.4 GHZ and 900 MHz

From the Orion LX Sensor Head to the LX Weather MicroServer, Aerocomm ConnexLink Wireless Transceivers offer a cable-free means to remotely monitor weather information when hardwire installations are not feasible or practical.

Spread spectrum bandwidth and channel-hopping technology minimize the effects of interference to prevent data corruption. Proprietary signal coding provides data verification security.

For fixed-mount weather stations, 2.4 GHZ and 900MHZ wireless transceiver options offer line-of-site range at 3 miles and 20 miles, respectively.

For the wireless Orion LX Weather Station, a transceiver is housed in the weatherproof enclosure near the sensor head. A second transceiver is connected to the Weather MicroServer near the data display site, which then is connected to a computer.

These stations require power at the site of the weatherproof enclosure. This power can be AC, battery or solar.

A wireless weather station system configuration would include the weather station itself with display or software, plus a weatherproof enclosure and transceivers.

Portable Wireless Weather Stations

The portable Orion LX Nomad weather station, come standard with 2.4 GHz transceivers which are good over a two to three mile, line-of-sight range. The transceiver is mounted in the carrying case with the battery pack.

Certifications
ConnexLinks are approved for operation by FCC (USA), IC (Canada) and CE (Europe). No additional certification is required.
