MS-150 Description

MS-150

Dyacon MS‑150™ is a fully-loaded meteorological station, right out of the box. The system includes the control module (data logger), wind sensor, temperature-pressure-humidity sensor, solar sensor, and rain gauge. This configuration provides a full range of measurement capability for weather observations.
The embedded cell phone provides maximum flexibility in placing the weather station, exceptional up-time, and minimal support.

Customizable

MS‑150™ has just about everything needed for basic weather applications. However, it can still be expanded with a temperature probe, aspirated (fan) radiation shield, and power expansion system.

Connected

Users will find that DyaconLive provides accessible, actionable, real-time information for the full data set generated by MS-150™. Weather Underground is still an option for more limited data.
Of course, the Modbus RTU port can be used for direct connection to automation controllers and personal computers.
SMS text messaging directly with the weather station allows for instant condition reports as well as remote configuration and control of the weather station.

Installation

In spite of the impressive features, MS-150™ is still easy to configure and install. Unlike high-end data logger systems, the MS-150 Weather Station does not require any programming or specialized skills.
Users should consider adding Tripod‑1, which provides a stable platform for mounting the weather station in most locations.
MS‑150 can also be connected to Modbus RTU industrial automation controllers and personal computers.

Key Features

Basic Configuration

MS‑150™ is shipped with the control module, wind sensor (WSD‑1), air sensor (TPH‑1), solar module, rain gauge, solar sensor, submersible temperature probe, mounting hardware. The tripod option is recommended for easy of use and optimum sensor performance.

Construction

The MS-150 Weather Station uses Dyacon modules to build a solution that is unique, expandable, and flexible.

Brackets and hardware are included for mounting the components on ¾” to 2” pipe or flat surface. (Tripod sold separately.)

Separate wind and air sensors allow for instruments to be positioned at conventional elevations or as required by the application.

Wireless

The included Dyacon control module utilizes a cellular phone module for command and control as well as weather reports.

Barometric Pressure

A 24-bit ADC digital pressure sensor element has the capability to deliver 10 cm (+/- 1.5 mbar) resolution. Barometric pressure is contained in the TPH‑1 sensor.

Wired Data

The control module is equipped with both USB device and Modbus slave ports for connecting to data hosting equipment, such as PCs or programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Solar Power

A 10 W solar module powers the MS‑150 and charges an internal battery. The system is designed for 5 days of normal operation without solar input. An adaptive power algorithm extends critical operation for several more days.

Installation

The MS-150 Weather Station is designed to be installed and maintained by the user. Sensors shipped with the unit are pre-configured and tested prior to shipment. Full instructions are provided so that setup can be done without technical support.

Accessories

MS‑150 includes a 12 V output for the Smart-Fan aspirated air sensor, improving the temperature accuracy in sunny conditions.
