Standard Mil-Spec connectors are replaced with underwater connectors. Underwater connectors are used because they are sealed and are the most robust connector available. Multiple towers sending data to a Central Data Control Unit that distributes the data. In addition to the basic meteorological suite of sensors, visibility and cloud height sensors can also be added and this station can accept direct input from the National Weather Service's PDB-1 Altimeter . Displays range from simple LCD's to vacuum fluorescent to full color FTF styles.
Towers can include lighting and supports.
Other tower options for different heights or unique applications are available. The station can be configured to run ASOS algorithms, other standard algorithms or can be user or factory configured to run most custom algorithms. A variety of wind monitors, relative humidity sensors, motor aspirated shields, temperature sensors and visibility sensors can be connected using the existing flexibility of the ZENO configuration menu. By simply using the menus built into the ZENO software you can configure the ZENO to communicate with most off the shelf serial sensors. Click here to read more about the Universal Serial Interface.
