Is the accuracy and robustness worth the investment for regular field use?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Measurement Accuracy: Delta T plus air and wet-bulb temperature, wind speed, dew point, relative humidity, barometric pressure, altitude and pressure trend
- • Best for: Farmers, agronomists and livestock managers needing quick on-site environmental checks
- • Not ideal for: Situations requiring continuous remote monitoring or advanced cloud-based analytics
Rugged handheld meter records Delta T alongside standard meteorological readings for field decisions. Waterproof to IP67 and tested to MIL-STD-810F for reliable outdoor use.
Safer spray decisions - thanks to Delta T measurement
Delta T captures the relationship between air and wet-bulb temperature to indicate evaporative potential, with wind speed, dew point and relative humidity used to refine risk assessments. Pressure trend and altitude data add context for changing conditions.
Makes it straightforward to decide when spraying will minimise drift and waste, helping to protect crops and nearby areas.
Field-tested durability - with IP67 waterproofing and MIL-STD-810F drop testing
IP67 classification means protection against dust and temporary immersion, while MIL-STD-810F drop testing confirms resilience to shocks typical in outdoor work. A rugged, USA-made handheld design supports repeated field use.
Built to cope with wet, muddy and rough conditions so readings remain dependable during routine rounds.
Fast, usable readings on the move - with large backlit display and three-button control
A sizeable backlit screen keeps measurements legible in low light and simple three-button navigation reduces menu time, supporting quick checks without complicated setup. Compact form supports carry in pockets or on a tool belt.
Instant temperature and wind readings without warm-up delay, ideal for spot checks before spraying, harvesting or livestock checks.
