Climatronics - Model TACMET II -Weather Sensor System (RLST)

Preserving much of the compact size and weight, low power, and reliability of its predecessor, the TACMET II now includes barometric pressure in its set of measurements, including wind speed, wind direction resolved to magnetic North, temperature, and relative humidity.

The TACMET II Weather Sensor System (RLST) is designed for maximum durability, portability, and utility, making it uniquely applicable for rapid deployment and use by one person under adverse conditions. The sensor may be mounted on a tripod or vehicle mast.

TACMET II Weather Sensor System (RLST) is supported by a number of accessories, including: carrying cases; hand-held displays; compact, lightweight tripods; and, depot repair and calibration fixtures.

TACMET II Weather Sensor System (RLST) has an aluminum housing and special filtering for EMI/RFI resistance. The sensor is painted color is CARC green and white.
