Professional Weather Stations

Easy-to-use, configurable multi-parameter weather stations

MetConnect allows users to build the system they need. MetConnect contains a number of integrated sensors. Additional sensors can be added to customize your system for a particular application.

MetConnect Data is easy to use and reliable. All sensor data is combined and output as a single string and is available on a range of communication protocols. Status codes can be included in the data to confirm the reliability of the measurements.

MetConnect is simple to configure, install, and maintain. MetConnect is supported by easy-to-use configuration and data viewing software as well as a range of accessories.

MetConnect is available in two models: MetConnect One, with an integrated wind sensor, and MetConnect THP without a wind sensor.

MetConnect is an update of the MetPak product range.

Typical Applications

  • Weather observation
  • Ports and harbors
  • Coastal and ocean buoys
  • Solar energy control and monitoring systems
  • Agriculture and horticulture
  • Environmental monitoring

MetConnect One Professional Weather Station

MetConnect One Professional Weather Station

The highly flexible MetConnect One multi-parameter weather station is easy to configure, install, use, and maintain. It offers rugged stainless steel construction along with four high-precision integrated sensors to measure wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, and pressure.

Three M12 connector inputs allow MetConnect to act as a hub and collect measurements from additional sensors which can be placed together in a compact arrangement or separated to suit individual application requirements.

Additional sensors can be added to the system, and the measurements added to the data reported by the station.

Product Features

  • Easy to configure, install, use and maintain
  • Robust, stainless steel construction
  • Measure wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, and pressure
  • Three M12 connector inputs allow MetConnect to act as a hub and collect measurements from additional sensors
  • Time synchronized data available via multiple output protocols
  • IP66/67 rating
  • Supported by set-up and display software

MetConnect THP Professional Weather Station

MetConnect THP Weather Station

The MetConnect THP offers the same rugged construction and ease of use as the MetConnect One without the wind sensor. The MetConnect THP comes with three high-precision integrated sensors to measure temperature, humidity, and pressure.

It comes with a single M12 connector for a remote wind sensor along with three M12 connectors to collect measurements from additional sensors which can be added to the system, and the measurements added to the data reported by the station.

Product Features

  • Easy to configure, install, use and maintain
  • Robust, stainless steel construction
  • Measure temperature, humidity, and pressure
  • Single M12 connector for remote wind sensor
  • Three M12 connectors to collect measurements from additional sensors
  • Time synchronized data available via multiple output protocols
  • IP66/67 rating
  • Supported by set-up and display software

MetConnect Weather Station Software

MetSet Configuration Software

MetSet is a free software package that allows the user to configure the output and display data provided by MetConnect & MetPak. The simple interface features a range of drop-down selection boxes, providing the ability to enable or disable existing sensors and adjust output rates.

MetSet Software

MetView Display Software

MetView is supplied free of charge with the MetConnect, offering a clear, intuitive display of the current weather conditions. MetView features five gauges: Temperature, Humidity, Pressure, Wind Speed and Wind direction. There is also a digital readout of dew point.
