Weather station

The Helios Mini compact meteorological data logger system from Skye Instruments contains accurate meteorological specification sensors with a data logging system in a compact weatherproof housing, sealed to IP65. The Helios Mini is a 4 channel dedicated logging system, with a choice of sensors: relative humidity, air or soil temperature, a self-emptying rain gauge or a surface wetness (dew) sensor.

The weather station can be programmed to record the weather parameters throughout the day, for example every half hour or hour. This allows the recording of the actual time at which the maximum/minimum temperatures or rainfall occurred.

The data logger is battery powered as standard, with solar power or mains power options. The data can be collected using a laptop if installed in a remote site, or by a permanent cable link to the office PC if convenient. Skye software is included which allows numerical (ASC11) files to be downloaded to the PC. These files open directly into Excel for printing graphs, tables, etc.
