Gill MaxiMet GMX600
Gill MaxiMet GMX600
The Gill MaxiMet GMX600 is a compact, low-power weather station combining ultrasonic wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure and optical precipitation measurement in a single instrument. With no moving parts, the GMX600 provides a comprehensive, low-maintenance solution for applications requiring a broad range of meteorological measurements from one compact sensor package.
Designed for fixed and remote installations, the GMX600 is particularly suited to environmental monitoring, hydrology, catchment monitoring, agriculture, research and remote monitoring networks. Its integrated design simplifies installation compared with conventional multi-sensor weather stations, while low power consumption and multiple digital communication options support integration with data loggers and telemetry systems.
The GMX600 measures wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, precipitation rate and accumulated precipitation, with additional calculated meteorological parameters available from the instrument.
