Our RAWS-F Fire Weather Quick Deployment Station is ideal for prescribed burns or other temporary installations. Customers can set up the station in as little as 10 minutes—without tools. Each RAWS-F station is preprogrammed to monitor wind speed and direction, air temperature and relative humidity, precipitation, barometric pressure, and solar radiation. This program complies with the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) weather station standards.
A RAWS-F station consists of an aluminum environmental enclosure mounted to a 6-foot tripod. The enclosure houses and protects a CR1000 datalogger and a 12-V battery that is recharged via a solar panel or an AC transformer. To facilitate sensor connection, the outside of the enclosure has color-coded, keyed connectors. A wiring panel is also provided allowing the RAWS-F to measure additional sensors.
Communication options include our GOES satellite transmitter and the VSP3 Vosponder Voice Radio Interface. The Vosponder allows customers to call a RAWS-F station via a hand-held radio and receive verbal reports of real-time conditions. Our RAWS-F station is compatible with other communication equipment such as telephones, digital cellular transceivers, and radios.
