Description

1. Product Overview

The INK434 Vehicle-Mounted Environmental Monitor is a compact, all-in-one automatic weather station purpose-built for mobile emergency and traffic meteorological monitoring. It delivers real-time, multi-parameter environmental data including wind direction/speed, temperature, humidity, precipitation, pressure, solar radiation, and solar temperature. Designed for robust deployment in mobile scenarios, it features IP65 protection, concealed wiring, and strong magnetic mounting, making it ideal for emergency response vehicles, mobile meteorological units, and traffic patrol fleets to provide on-site decision-support data for meteorological and traffic safety operations.

2. Sensing Technology & Self-Cleaning System

Sensing Technology:
- Ultrasonic Wind Sensors: Non-contact ultrasonic transducers measure wind speed (0-70 m/s) and direction (0-359°) with high precision, eliminating moving parts for durability.
- Integrated Environmental Sensors: Digital probes for temperature (-40~+80°C), humidity (0-100% RH), atmospheric pressure (300-1100 hPa), and optical rainfall (0-999.9 mm) provide accurate, real-time readings.
- Radiation Sensors: A pyranometer measures total solar radiation (0-2000 W/m²) for solar energy and environmental monitoring applications.
Environmental Adaptation:
- Probe Heating System: Built-in heating elements prevent frost, ice, and condensation buildup on sensors in harsh cold environments, ensuring continuous operation down to -40°C.
- IP65 Enclosure: Sealed housing protects against dust, rain, and splashing water, suitable for all weather conditions.
