DOM Agricultural Spraying On The Go Weather Station
Effective management of pesticide drift is increasingly important to pesticide applicators. Now you can monitor and data log weather conditions with the new ultrasonic WatchDog Sprayer Station. This all-in-one weather station measures air temperature, humidity, dew point, wind chill, barometric pressure, and apparent wind speed and direction. It handles adverse conditions with a UV stabilized, compact housing that is fully waterproof and resistant to chemicals. Reliability is enhanced by eliminating moving parts: the traditional wind vane and cups have been replaced with ultrasonic transducers.
The WatchDog Sprayer Station is more than a compact and capable weather station. While on-the-go, the station uses its internal compass and GPS to adjust the wind sensor values by subtracting the vehicle speed and direction to compute the true wind speed and direction. When connected to a Pocket PC/Windows Mobile PDA (not included), the included software program provides a large, easy-to-read display of the current conditions.
Monitored conditions include: wind speed & direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and GPS parameters (vehicle speed & direction, location, and satellite signal strength).
Continuously log your weather parameters at a user-selectable rate or hit the "Save" button to capture a snaphot of the current conditions.
The WatchDog Sprayer Station package includes the sensor unit with magnetic mount, CD with display/logging program for use on a Pocket PC/Windows Mobile PDA, 15 foot cable with vehicle power and serial connectors.
Price from $2200 plus GST with owner supplied PDA or $3200 plus GST if we supply PDA and Suction RAM mount with serial adapter.
