General Description:

The WeatherHawk Series 600 family of weather stations measure and record wind speed and direction; air temperature and relative humidity; barometric pressure and solar radiation; rainfall and snowfall. In addition, the system calculates and exports an evapotranspiration (ET) value that can be used by third party systems for irrigation control. Series 600 weather stations are designed for applications where a minimal visual impact, high reliability, and a long interval between routine servicing are significant factors in the decision to purchase. The standard Series 600 system incorporates an integral 3 AHr battery pack, which is continually recharged by an external primary power source. Model 620 and 610 systems can be interfaced with an optional solar panel, while Model 621 and 611 systems require an AC power converter. All Series 600 weather stations are suitable for applications requiring high reliability.

The Series 600 family is fully compatible with most versions of software, data management, input power and mounting accessories designed for the WeatherHawk Signature and 500 Series weather stations. The Series 600 WeatherHawk systems utilize solid state sensors, with no moving parts. Solid state sensors enable a low profile design better suited to high visibility locations where a traditional weather station would be visually objectionable; they have higher reliability and a longer interval between routine service and inspection requirements; they are more robust and less susceptible to damage from wind carried debris; and they are not compromised by heavy snowfall or freezing conditions that produce rime ice (NOTE: Heated sensor versions, Models 611/621, must be used in snow or freeze zone applications).
