DAV005-WEATHER STATION (WIRELESS) 6162UK WIRELESS WEATHER STATION WITH UV & SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR-USA MADE

This unit comes with UV and Solar Radiation Sensors retains all the reliable and accurate features of the DAV005 and adds even more!


The Weather Station with Standard Radiation Shield transmits and receives data from up to 1,000 feet away (line-of-sight) - that's more than three football fields in length and quite an improvement over the original DAV005 figures!


The KKI DAV005 Plus Weather station adds two additional sensors to the standard DAV005 set - an ultraviolet (UV) sensor to measure the sunburn portion of the light spectrum and a solar radiation sensor to measure evapotranspiration (drying factor).


This wireless DAV005 weather station from KKI retains all the features that made the original DAV005 so famous yet adds many more such as button realignment to make navigating to often-used functions much easier; a redesigned rain collector that is laser-calibrated to ensure the best accuracy possible; and a re-tooled Integrated Sensor Suite with upgraded electronics. In addition, the DAV005 Plus has a fifth radiation shield plate to improve accuracy and readings!


The DAV005 Plus wireless weather station consists of a backlit console unit with LCD screen and an innovative integrated sensor suite that includes a rain collector with self-emptying bucket, temperature and humidity sensors, UV sensor, solar radiation senor and an anemometer. The sensor suite is housed inside a radiation shield, protecting the sensors against solar radiation and additional sources of reflected and/or radiated heat.


With the expanded transmission range that can be extended with optional repeaters, this DAV005 Plus wireless weather station includes an anemometer that can be mounted with the sensor suite or detached and placed in a separate, more suitable location. The system includes 40 feet of anemometer cable to run back to the sensor suite for increased flexibility.
The DAV005 Plus weather station includes a solar-powered sensor array and other features such as on-screen graphing, forecasting using easy-to-read icons (sunny, cloudy, rain, snow), barometric pressure trend, inside temperature, dew point, humidity information, moon phase, time and date, and much more!


In addition, this high-tech wireless weather station will track highs and lows (and/or totals and averages) for almost all weather variables for the past 24 days, months or years and track your local forecast!
The upgraded DAV005 Plus wireless weather station is truly state-of-the-art!
