NTRODUCTION TO THE
H EALTH E NVIRO M ONITOR
For use by individuals, radio and TV stations, parks, amusement parks, and
resorts, the Health EnviroMonitor (Health EM) monitors the weather condi-
tions that may contribute to health hazards: sunburn, skin cancer, heat stress,
and hypothermia. This integrated weather station, computer, and data logger
measures/calculates, displays, and stores wind speed and direction, wind run,
solar radiation, solar energy, air temperature, heat stress and wind chill (appar-
ent temperature), humidity, barometric pressure, UV radiation, UV dose, rain-
fall, and rate of rainfall. Current values, high and low values, cumulative totals,
and daily averages are available for display at the push of a button. The system
can even sound an alarm when values exceed a threshold set by the user.
O PTIONAL S ENSORS
The following optional sensors enable the Health EM to measure and calculate
specialized weather information. All optional sensors are available from your
dealer or may be ordered directly from Davis Instruments.
• Anemometer
Enables you to measure and display wind speed, wind direction, and
wind chill (with temperature sensor). The Health EM will also use the
wind speed reading in calculating temperature-humidity-sun-wind
index.
