Description

Weather station PRO LIGHT Wireless communication, Solar power (5W) – Delivered with RF422 868 MHz Radio kit and TW Mast Mounting – No modem and no battery

A Weather station, when used with a central control system (i.e. Rain Bird PC system), reads the daily evapotranspiration (ET) levels & adjusts the irrigation accordingly. The ET is determined by the weather station collating information including the air temperature, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation, relative humidity and rainfall. This can increase the accuracy of your irrigation applications, ensuring you are applying the correct amount of water for your turf each day. It also has the potential to save you a great deal of money in terms of pump-kilowatts and water; especially if you are paying for your irrigation water.

Communication Options: There are options available for transmission of the information from your weather station to your Central Control System:

• Wireless communication
  • AC powered, delivered to the PC via radio
  • Solar power
• Phone communication; solar powered.
• Direct wire communication (short haul modem)

The Rain Bird Pro-LT is significantly cheaper than the Pro2, so what’s the difference?

The measurement of information between the 2 models is not significantly different, but the Pro-2 model can control the irrigation system immediately, even during an irrigation cycle, whereas the Pro-LT determines how the irrigation system will operate in its next irrigation cycle. The Pro-2 therefore can be far more accurate in that it is controlling the irrigation system in a true real-time way… however this does come at a greater cost!
