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
