Product advantages

Optimized for low power consumption

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
  • Leaf wind vane and 3-arm cup rotor interchangeable
