MaxiMet GMX200

High quality, easy-to-use, integrated weather station

 

  • Precision wind measurement instrument

  • Compact multi-parameter weather stations

  • Wind sensor with compass and optional GPS

The MaxiMet GMX200 is a compact, ultrasonic wind sensor that measures wind speed and direction with no moving parts for low maintenance and high reliability. It features a built-in 2-axis compass, optional GPS for true wind calculation, and supports multiple output protocols including RS232, RS485, Modbus, NMEA, and SDI-12. Designed for tough outdoor use, it’s IP66-rated, operates from –35 °C to +70 °C, and runs on low power (5–30 V DC), making it ideal for remote weather stations, marine use, and integration into data logging or SCADA systems.

  • Control systems including smart buildings, agriculture and industry
  • Solar farms
  • Road and rail
  • Ports and harbours
  • Reporting systems for transport and safety
  • Low power/solar powered deployments and IoT applications
  • Two measured parameters: Wind speed & direction, optional GPS function
  • Multiple additional derived parameters based on combining measured parameters, such as gust, average wind speed and corrected direction
  • High quality, accurate, solid-state sensors
  • 2-axis compass
  • Optional integrated GPS capability available to provide location, GPS timestamp and a calculation of true wind if the platform is moving
  • High quality measurement data due to careful sensor selection and extensive design testing and verification
  • Easy to set-up and integrate using comprehensive software to select the reported and derived parameters and measurement units required
  • Easy to install and long operational life, due to a compact, robust design and the selection of low maintenance sensors
  • Suitable for use with battery or solar systems in low power mode
