WatchDog Sprayer Station

On-The-Go-Weather

Effective management of pesticide drift is increasingly important to pesticide applicators. Now you can monitor and data log weather conditions with the new ultrasonic WatchDog Sprayer Station.

This all-in-one weather station measures air temperature, humidity, dew point, wind chill, barometric pressure, and apparent wind speed and direction. It handles adverse conditions with a UV stabilized, compact housing that is fully waterproof and resistant to chemicals. Reliability is enhanced by eliminating moving parts: the traditional wind vane and cups have been replaced with ultrasonic transducers.

When connected to a Pocket PC/Windows Mobile PDA (not included), the included software program provides a large, easy-to-read display of the current conditions.

Monitored Conditions include:

wind speed & direction
temperature
humidity
dew point
wind chill
barometric pressure
GPS parameters
- vehicle speed
- vehicle direction
- vehicle location
- satellite signal strength.

Continuously log your weather parameters at a user-selectable rate or hit the “Save” button to capture a snaphot of the current conditions.
