Ultrasonic Sensor Array
The wireless sensor array features a pagoda thermo-hygrometer radiation shield with passive aspiration for the utmost accuracy, a bubble level for plumb installation, and a solar panel. It connects to the console via RF (915 MHz) up to 1000 feet of line of sight in open air (300 feet under most conditions). The wireless signal will not pass through solid metal, earth, or ground. The sensor array mounts to any pole between 1.25 and 2" in diameter with an adaptive mounting bracket and U-Bolt design that can be tightened to your mounting pole (not included).
Extra Large Rain Cup
The extra-large rain cup ensures better accuracy. Since the sensor is wireless, it can be placed close to the ground, and the removable lid makes for easy service and maintenance.
