1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the ATMOS41 All-in-One Weather Station from METER Group.
The ATMOS41 All-in-One Weather Station is designed for continuous monitoring of
environmental variables, including all standard weather measurements (Section 3).
TheATMOS41 measures the following:
• Solar radiation
• Precipitation
• Air temperature
• Barometric pressure
• Vapor pressure
• Relative humidity
• Wind speed
• Wind direction
• Maximum wind gust
• Lightning strikes
• Lightning distance
• Tilt
All sensors are integrated into a single, small form-factor unit, requiring minimal installation
effort. A robust, no moving parts design that prevents errors because of wear or fouling make
the weather station ideal for long-term, remote installations. ATMOS 41 can be used for a
variety of applications:
• Weather monitoring
• Microenvironment monitoring
• Spatially-distributed environmental monitoring
• Crop weather monitoring
• Fire danger monitoring
• Weather networks
Additional advantages include its low-power design that supports battery-operated data
loggers and the SDI-12 three-wire interface. A tilt sensor warns the user of out-of-level
condition, and no configurations are necessary.
Prior to use, verify all ATMOS 41 system components are included and appear in
goodcondition.
