NOTES
* option of ‘RTD PT100 1/3 din Option with signal conditioned output compatible with 0 to 5V to 0 – 10V systems
** higher resolution available by setting jumper to mode 0 – Tipping Bucket Raingauge Mode: Tipping increments of 0.2, 0.01 and 0.001mm
1. Cable from Sensor Distribution Box is Lutze SU TR (C) PUR (10×0,25)
2. Compact MiniMet can be interfaced to 0-10 volt systems
3. Power supply range is 12 – 15 volts @ approx 35 mA continuous operation – allow an additional 40 mA for the rain sensor
The sensors are supplied mounted on a bracket ready to be installed. No extra accessories are required apart from a mast. We can supply these and further details are available here

Skye has been supplying its flagship MiniMet Automatic Weather Station for over 25 years. The research grade station is popular with researchers around the world.
Skye is now pleased to launch a ‘compact’ version, MiniMet5. The same build quality and high specification sensors, but mounted on the same bracket.
Just like our full size MiniMet Station, this compact system has also been designed to incorporate high specification sensors while maintaining a low cost. Consideration has also been given to ensure the system will work flawlessly in outdoor environments and is completely weatherproof.
The advantages are:
- Sensors mounted on one bracket
- Robust with durable sensors proven to withstand life in the field
- Plug and play with 0-4 volt output
- Low maintenance
- Easy installation to walls and masts
