The MetSens500 is a compact all-in-one weather sensor that measures wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure. Its integrated electronic compass enables accurate wind direction measurements without requiring precise orientation, simplifying installation. The sensor provides comprehensive weather data and integrates easily with the MeteoPV Solar Resource Platform and Campbell Scientific data loggers through multiple communication protocols.
