Gill Maximet GMX600 Compact Weather Station

Maximet GMX600 Compact Weather Station Description

The Gill MaxiMet GMX600 combines the GMX100, GMX200 and GMX300 into a single unit. It is extremely compact, robust and lightweight enabling accurate measurement of wind speed, wind direction and precipitation plus a wide range of weather parameters.

Three double-louvered naturally aspirated radiation shields deliver long term highly accurate weather data. Parameters measured include temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, absolute humidity, air density and wet bulb temperature. In addition, an integrated optical rain gauge senses rainfall as it hits its surface, automatically measuring the raindrops’ size and quantity. It then records the data from which it calculates and formats the output as if it were a traditional tipping bucket rain gauge in serial format.

In addition, a solid state ultrasonic sensor provides extremely accurate wind speed and direction measurements. An electronic compass comes as standard which delivers apparent wind, WMO wind averages and gust data.

The optional GPS adds the benefit of a true wind measurement, height above sea level, latitude, and longitude, and simplifies installation by automatically finding north.

The result is an extremely durable and cost effective maintenance free weather station widely used for applications such as agriculture, health & safety, transport, education, energy and building controls.

NOTE: The Optical Sensor provides a General Indication only of rainfall levels for use in situations where low maintenance is required. Use a tipping bucket or equivalent with a MaxiMet (e.g. GMX531, GMX550 and GMX551) where reference quality precipitation measurements are required.
