How to Replace the PTU Module on the Orion™ Weather Station (Video)

Is factory-calibration accuracy critical to your weather monitoring application? The Orion Weather Station has a Pressure, Temperature, Humidity (PTU) module that can be replaced in the field with virtually no down-time. 

Electronic measurement equipment can drift in accuracy over time. 

For many applications, this minimal drift is acceptable. But for some regulatory-compliant or very sensitive applications, customers can ensure factory-calibrated accuracy by replacing the PTU module per the manufacturer’s recommendation every two years. Each replacement PTU module comes with a factory calibration certificate.  

Collier County in Florida replaces their PTU module based on the recommendations found in the User Manual. “We primarily use the station for keeping track of weather conditions at the landfill. The station is located on a 15ft tower on a hill at the landfill and maintenance on the station itself is simple,” says Robert Lee, PMP, Manager Solid Waste Operations.

Examples of other customers who replace their PTU module regularly include energy companies like Alliant and Dominion, Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts wastewater treatment facilities, and Ford Motor Company Proving Grounds.

The cost for these three important, professional-grade sensors, packaged in one easy-to-replace module, is about $500. Watch the video to see how easy it is to accomplish.
