Opticalscientific OWI-430 Intelligent Weather Sensor
| OWI-430 Intelligent Weather Sensor | ||||
| • Present weather, precipitation and visibility measurement • Advanced scintillation technology • No field calibration required • Intelligent algorithms (over 200 million hours of field data.) • Built-in self diagnostics & testing • Easy Installation and integration • Almost no maintenance. Operates unattended 24/7/365 • Reports over 50 NWS / WMO codes • Supports additional sensors | ||||
| The OWI-430 is the most advanced present weather and visibility sensor ever made. The fully automated instrument provides accurate visibility, present weather and precipitation measurement in a single sensor. This next generation intelligent sensor uses all digital signal processing (DSP) for no-drift high-accuracy results. | ||||
