Automatic Weather Station AWS810

Vaisala Automatic Weather Station AWS810

The Vaisala Automatic Weather Station AWS810 provides the functionality required for accurate and reliable meteorological measurements. It is a mature communication and monitoring solution, including: sensors, electrical equipment, wind masts, and power supplies.

An integrated solution for a wide range of applications

The AWS810 is a meteorological data acquisition system that automatically measures, processes, and stores meteorological data for professional use. The AWS810 can be used as a standalone unit or networked with other compatible Vaisala weather stations to form a meteorological observation network. The AWS810 weather station can be used in various applications, such as weather, aviation, agricultural meteorology, hydrology, and climatology. Using the same standard hardware and software for multiple purposes reduces the costs of training, spare parts, and logistical support.

Proven performance from reliable sensors

Vaisala weather stations and equipment comply with World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standards. The design quality of Vaisala weather stations has been validated through extensive testing, both during development and in the field. To ensure continuous measurement and calculation accuracy, the AWS810 includes built-in quality monitoring functions, such as maximum and minimum limits for sensors, and step change limits over continuous measurement periods. The station's DMU801 data acquisition unit continuously monitors the status of each sensor to ensure measurement reliability and immediately notifies the user if any sensor malfunctions. All sensors in the AWS810 operate independently, meaning that a failure in one sensor does not affect the performance of others.

Security first

The AWS810 provides security mechanisms to protect your data from security threats and unauthorized access. The DMU801 data acquisition unit includes multiple security features, such as secure network protocols, secure communication interfaces compliant with industry-standard encryption protocols, and dynamic firewall protection. Secure development and maintenance, including regular firmware updates, are provided for continuous improvement.

Easy maintenance

For AWS810 networks, Vaisala's acquisition platform software NM10 offers a browser-based interface for round-the-clock monitoring, access, and control of individual observation sites. Continuous, reliable observations enhance your meteorological services and mission-critical operational capabilities, while fewer site visits and proper maintenance save time and money. Even without the optional NM10 software installed, settings can be adjusted and issues resolved remotely. The AWS810 web user interface allows you to view basic station information, sensor status and readings, set site parameters, and access other functions.
