Compact Weather Stations Launched at Meteorological Technology World Expo 2014

Gill Instruments Limited (UK), a leading meteorological and environmental solutions provider, launched MaxiMet, a new range of compact weather stations at the Meteorological Technology World Expo 2014.

MaxiMet combines the renowned quality and reliability of Gill products into an integrated, easy-to-use and cost-effective compact weather station. Applications such as road weather, solar and wind energy, building controls, agriculture and many more will now be able to take advantage of the widest range of parameters available in any compact weather station.

Visitors to the Gill Instruments stand were treated to the first chance to see the new range, which will be available from the New Year.

The MaxiMet range will be launched with 9 variants, allowing users to choose measurement parameters and communications protocols to suit different requirements. Instrumentation includes options for precipitation, solar radiation, wind, temperature, humidity and pressure, as well as GPS and compass. There are many other selectable parameters and every option in the range includes the new low power ‘Eco Mode’ and Bluetooth for wireless communications.

“MaxiMet is a range of cost-effective compact weather stations that users can customise to their requirements” says Richard McKay, Product Manager at Gill Instruments. “With MaxiMet no other sensors are necessary to obtain a complete weather snapshot using measurements to the highest standards”.
