ProData - wireless standard weather station with solar sensor - turf package 2 - remote data
Turf 2 package overview
Cellular (SIM pre-installed) self-powered gateway linking to the wireless weather station and optional standalone sensor nodes (which can support up to 4 additional sensors). Multiple nodes can also be added to provide full sensor coverage to a golf course or sports arena/large site location.
Turf 2 package includes
Wireless STD weather station (features)
Anemometer (wind speed and direction)
0.2mm per tip rain gauge
Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Solar radiation sensor (W/M2) and E.T Evapotranspiration
LTE cellular gateway – 1
15 min gateway plan (updates to the cloud and mobile APPs)
Annual gateway subscription - 1 year
Additional options for the Turf 2 package
PDR1 - dedicated agronomic reporting software and data reporting package
Climatic statistics (daily/monthly)
Agronomic reporting
GDD (growing degree days) 6deg base and 0deg base
GP (grow potential)
S-K Probability (Dollar Spot)
SMS (soil moisture surplus) SMD (soil moisture deficit)
T max, T min, T mean
RH mean
Total rain, rain max
Total ET
A6810 – sensor mode
Self-powered node 300mtr line of sight (Can be extended up-to 3km using Long Range Aerial (enquire for details) to the LTE Gateway – can support 4 sensors
6420 -leaf wetness sensor
Davis leaf moisture sensor accurately reflects leaf moisture/dew levels on the grass plant leaf. A key component in disease forecasting. The leaf moisture sensor gives a reading from 0–15 where 0 = dry and 15 = saturated
PAR Radiation Sensor
Photosynthetic active radiation & DLI (daylight light interval) Sensor
Soil moisture/temperature/EC sensor - single depth 5m cable
Single Depth Combined Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature and Salinity Sensor
Soil moisture/temperature/EC sensor - multi depth 5m cable/profile 30cm
30 or 60cm multi-depth soil moisture, soil temperature and salinity sensor – every 10cms through the profile
7716a - mounting tripod with ground spikes
7717 – mounting pole (1mtr)
What data can your weather generate?
E.T (Evapotranspiration) and rainfall data
Soil moisture status and plant stress
(Irrigation requirement - soil moisture deficit/surplus)
Min and max air temperature
Grass and insect growth model
(Daily growth degree days – daily growth potential)
Leaf moisture status (if sensor fitted)
Leaf moisture status
(Dew intensity for spraying, removal, disease pressure)
Relative humidity and dewpoint
Disease activity data
(Smith Kerns Dollar Spot model – real time disease pressure indicator)
Rainfall data – mm per hour and time of max rainfall
Rainfall data
(Flooding events, bunker wash outs on golf courses, etc.)
Wind data, maximum gust & time of max must
Spray windows
(Spray windows, tree fall incidents, health and safety)
A key consideration is the location of the weather station (and any associated sensors) it is strongly recommended not to locate on a building or roofline. Ideally situated in an open and flat location to replicate the conditions and areas of interest.
