Rapid Deployment Weather Monitoring SystemWhen wind direction and speed measurements are critical, the Pegasus EX Weather Station offers a complete weather monitoring solution for portable operations. For HazMat, pollution control, research, and other environmental monitoring requirements, the Pegasus EX's enhanced wind sensor offers two-degree wind direction resolution and up to 160 mph wind speed range. Weather Parameters Monitored • Temperature • Barometric Pressure • Wind Direction • Wind Speed • Relative Humidity Use WeatherMaster 2000 software to calculate dew point, heat index, wind chill, density altitude and automatically integrate weather data into Cameo/Aloha HazMat software.

Pegasus EX Portable Weather Station includes the Control Module with internal barometric pressure sensor, wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity sensor housed in a solar radiation shield. Each sensor includes a 15-foot sensor cable. A custom sensor package can be built using any of the sensors below including up to four temperature sensors.
Control Module
Features:
|
 |
| Housed in the Control Module, the barometric pressure sensor is a silicon shear stress strain gauge. This state-of-the-art sensor integrates on-chip, bipolar op amp circuitry and thin film resistor networks to provide a high level analog output signal and true temperature compensation. The on-chip integration also results in high reliability and accuracy. Accuracy: ± 0.03 in. Hg over range (at sea level, with temperature between 32° and 182°F (0°- 85°C) Range: 4.4 to 33.96 in. Hg Resolution: 0.01 in. Hg

Temperature: Ambient, Soil/Water, and/or Panel Temperature Sensors
|
Standard with one ambient temperature sensor. Up to four temperature sensors can be connected with a maximum of 400 feet combined cable length. These digital, semiconductor-type probes all connect to a single port, reducing susceptibility to noise interference, reducing cost, and increasing accuracy. The sensors are calibrated at the factory. Options include: Soil/Water Temperature, Panel Temperature, and Ambient Temperature Sensors Accuracy: ± 0.9°F from +14° to 185°F (±0.5°C from -10° to 85°C), ± 3.6°F from -67° to 257°F (±2.0°C from -55° to 125°C) Resolution: 0.01°F

| This capacitive relative humidity sensor is compact and easy to use. It can be easily installed in a self-aspirating radiation shield for protection from the sun and rain. This sensor offers long-term stability with minimal drift. Because the sensor is a capacitive device, it will not be affected by surface contamination in unclean environments. Since the sensor element is socketed and laser trimmed it can be easily replaced in the field without any additional calibration. Type: Capacitance Accuracy: ± 3% (or better) from 10 to 90% RH at 68° F Temperature Effect: less than <±1.5% RH from 14° F to 140° F Stability: ±2% RH over 2 years Reporting Resolution: 1% RH Range: 0 to 100%

| The optional tipping bucket electric rain gauge is composed of a complex spun collector funnel with a knife edge that diverts the water to a tipping bucket mechanism. For each tip, a magnet causes an electronic pulse that is recorded. The rainfall sensor is completely automatic - spent water drains out of the bottom of the housing, hence, the instrument requires no servicing. Accuracy: ±1% at 2 in./hr or less Resolution: 0.01 inch Heated rain gauge is available. Please call 1-866-625-8620 for details.

The optional pyranometer or solar radiation sensor is calibrated to measure the shortwave radiation reaching the Earth's surface, measured in Watts m-2. Self-cleaning dome-shaped head prevents water accumulation. Sensor head is potted solid to prevent internal condensation in humid environments. Requires the Capricorn 2000MP or 2000EX version of the Control Module. Cosine Response: 45° zenith angle ± 1%, 75° zenith angle ± 5% Absolute Accuracy: ± 5% Uniformity: ± 3% Repeatability: ± 1% Output Responsivity: 0.200 mV per W m-2 In full sunlight: 220 mV (1,100 W m-2) Linear Range: 0 - 350 mV (0 - 1,750 W m-2) Sensitivity: Custom calibrated to exactly 5.00 W m-2 per mV Input Power: None, self-powered Operating Environment: - 40 to 55 °C; 0 to 100% relative humidity. Designed for continuous outdoor use. Can be submerged under water (with or without mounting screw). Materials: Anodized aluminum with acrylic lens Dimensions: 2.4 cm diameter, 2.75 cm high
