RAWS-P Remote Automated Weather Station, Permanent
Services Available

Overview

The RAWS-P is a CR1000-based weather station that combines flexibility with ease of use. With the RAWS-P, sensors and mounting peripherals are purchased separately--allowing you to customize your station exactly the way you want it.

Even with this flexibility, however, installation is easy because the selected sensors are simply attached to color-coded, keyed connectors on the outside of the RAWS-P enclosure. Besides the connectors, a wiring panel is provided that allows the attachment of additional sensors.

Detailed Description

Our RAWS-P is the core of a permanent station designed for a wide range of mounting options and for ease of configuration. 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.

A RAWS-P consists of a CR1000 datalogger and 12-V battery, housed and protected in an aluminum environmental enclosure that can be mounted in a variety of ways. Sensors and power source are purchased separately. The sensors can be chosen from those with an -LQ suffix; this designates sensors built with cable ends that will fit the RAWS-P enclosure connectors.

The battery is recharged via a solar panel or an AC transformer. To facilitate sensor connection, the outside of the enclosure has color-coded, keyed connectors. A wiring panel is also provided, allowing the RAWS-P to measure 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.

  1. What are the options for accessing data on a weather station?

    Campbell Scientific offers several software options, which are outlined below:

    1. PC200W
      • Provides basic tools (clock set, program download, monitor data, retrieve data, etc.)
      • Only works with direct connections between a PC and a data logger (that is, connecting through a serial COM port, such as a short haul RAD modem or radio); no telecommunication, such as phone modems or Internet
      • Offers simple tools to view and graph data files
      • Does not include the CRBasic Editor or Edlog software
      • Does not do automated scheduled data collection
      • Is available as afree downloadfrom our website
    2. PC400
      • Has all of the features of thePC200W
      • Compatible with additional telecommunications options, such as IP ports and phone modems; does not work with combined communications options such as phone-to-radio
      • Offers additional features, including the CRBasic and Edlog program editors
      • Does not do automated scheduled data collection
      • Is not offered as a trial version
    3. VisualWeather
      • Has been designed for use with weather stations
      • Allows connection to the station, viewing of current conditions, and data collection
