RAWS-P Remote Automated Weather
Station
1. Introduction
The RAWS-P is the core of a permanent station. It consists of a CR1000
datalogger and 12 Vdc battery, housed and protected in an aluminum
environmental enclosure. The sensors and the tripod/tower are purchased
separately—allowing you to customize your station exactly the way you want
it. Installation is easy because the selected sensors are attached to color-coded,
keyed connectors on the outside of the RAWS-P enclosure (see FIGURE 1-1).
Besides the connectors, a wiring panel is provided that allows the attachment
of additional sensors. The RAWS-P typically communicates via our GOES
satellite transmitter. It is also compatible with other communication equipment
such as telephones, digital cellular transceivers, and radios.
Each RAWS-P station is preprogrammed to monitor wind speed and direction,
air temperature and relative humidity, precipitation, barometric pressure, and
solar radiation sensors. This program complies with the National Fire Danger
Rating System (NFDRS) weather station standards.
