Weather Stations
The Gill MetPak is a compact and lightweight multi-sensor instrument that measures the most essential weather parameters. Gill ultrasonic technology, as used in the proven WindSonic instrument, measures wind speed and direction.
Temperature and humidity are measured using industry standard probes housed in a naturally aspirated radiation shield. The instrument uses a rugged U-bolt mounting clamp that attaches to any vertical pipe up to 50mm in diameter.
The instrument can be supplied with either a digital SDI-12 output or a four channel analogue output option, suitable to interface with industry standard loggers. Low power consumption enables the instrument to be used in remote locations where power is at a premium. An electrical junction box is fitted to the mounting bracket allowing convenient termination of all electrical cables.

MetPak Pro professional weather station is an all-in-one weather system capable of monitoring the same seven weather parameters as MetPak RG, with additional inputs for an Pt100 temperature sensor and two analogue sensors (water level sensor, pyranometer, pressure sensor, soil temperature sensor etc). External sensors can be connected directly to the weather station via an optional junction box. MetPak Pro has a variety of remote-mount wind sensor options.
MaxiMet is an advanced compact weather station designed and manufactured by Gill Instruments using proven technology to measure meteorological and environmental parameters to international standards.
MaxiMet incorporates all the measurement parameters that meet the requirements of users in demanding applications where cost, quality and performance are essential.
With features such as wind, precipitation, solar radiation, temperature, humidity, pressure, low power ‘Eco Mode’, GPS, compass, Bluetooth and many more, MaxiMet is unique in its ability to provide the widest number of measurements and output protocol options which makes it easy to install, easy to use and with zero maintenance.
