Great changes are coming to the Orion – our most popular weather station model . One of the best features has always been the all-in-one sensor head design, however with the limitation of the standard sensors – whether you needed a particular parameter or not, you got them all. Now you can pick and choose just the parameters you need and still have the convenience of the all-in-one sensor configuration. Our new line of Orion weather stations includes the following sensor options: • Orion 531 with impact rain gauge only • Orion 532 (aka Orion LT) with ultrasonic wind direction and speed only • Orion 533 with rainfall, wind direction and speed • Orion 534 with pressure, temperature, humidity • Orion 535 with pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall • Orion complete with pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind direction and speed The new family of Orion sensor options

We have integrated a new visibility sensor option into weather stations utilizing the Weather MicroServer. This was accomplished in response to a customer need for solar-powered weather station solution used in monitoring large-scale solar energy facilities. For more information visit: Weather MicroServer page The visibility sensor is mounted on a tripod mast along with the solar radiation sensors, solar power panel, and weatherproof enclosures for the battery and Weather MicroServer.
