• Multi-element sensor for highly accurate and stable temperature readings
• Fast-response, capacitive relative humidity sensor
• State-of-the-art barometric pressure sensor
• Internal fluxgate compass for automatic alignment of wind direction

The WX Pro  Weather Station connects to a Datalogger/ MicroServer  that can be connected directly to the AtonisPro AIS Aton Transponder to report weather data via Message 8 in IMO format. The user can configure the reporting intervals for Message 8 and ATONIS controls the on/off times of the datalogger/microserver to keep power consumption at the lowest possible level.

Water level sensors can be connected to the Datalogger/Microserver to report tidal data in IMO Message 8 format.
