Climatronics - Portable Weather Systems for HAZMAT

Congress passed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill in November 2006. This bill funds many important programs, including $539.5 million for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFGP).

Climatronics` CAMEO/ALOHA HAZMAT Weather System is the perfect choice for any application requiring a lightweight, low power, rapidly deployable first response weather station. Supplied in one of two rugged transit cases (depending on system version), this system is applicable to any emergency response application associated with homeland security, hazardous material spills, NBC threats, man-made or natural disasters, and other similar situations.

The CAMEO/ALOHA HAZMAT Weather System is a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) system used to determine surface meteorological conditions and the data can be used in a multitude of both civil and military applications. Set up of the system is easily done in minutes and requires no tools or orientation of the AIO compact weather sensor. The total sensor package is only 12 inches high and 4 inches in diameter and weighs a mere 2.5 pounds, which is less than a third of that of our competitors’ systems.

The basic vehicle mounted system consists of Climatronics’ AIO compact weather sensor, a “Quick-Connect” sensor mount with a power/data interface cable, and a sensor transit case. The data output from the system is a CAMEO/ALOHA compatible serial data stream. The user supplies the PC to run the application software such as CAMEO/ALOHA with MARPLOT or Climatronics’ “WeatherView” display and data logging program. The telemetry version of the system adds two spread-spectrum radio transceivers operating in the 900 MHz band, a tripod, and any necessary antennas, cables, batteries, charger and the appropriate transit case. Optionally, a 2.4 GHz radio is also available for applications requiring deployment in countries other than the USA, Canada, Australia or Israel.
