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.
