ARCO SDI-12

For solar-powered weather stations: compact, robust, and energy-efficient. Designed for precise wind measurement with minimal power consumption, even under demanding conditions.

• Hydrology and agricultural meteorology
• Solar-powered weather station

• Data sheet
• Environmental Test

All sensors in the ARCO series are characterized by their robustness, compactness, and exceptional reliability. The ARCO SDI-12 is particularly well suited for solar-powered weather stations due to its low energy consumption. To ensure high durability, we use corrosion-resistant materials: the housing and measuring elements are made of seawater-resistant aluminum and stainless steel. The cup rotor, wind vane, and housing are anodized. The ARCO SDI-12 offers a high-quality yet cost-effective solution.

• Low power consumption
• Particularly low start-up values
• Quick and easy installation
• Wind vane and 3-arm cup rotor interchangeable

• Data sheet
• Data logger
