The Topcon X20 Weather Station incorporates ultrasonic sensors to track important weather conditions while performing critical farming applications. Solid state sensors means there are no moving parts to maintain. The Weather Station continually provides information to the X20 console, enabling the operator to monitor important weather data while performing applications such as spraying. With integrated mapping, weather and coverage maps can be logged, printed and stored for important record keeping.
The X20 Weather Station measures apparent wind speed and direction, air temperature, and relative humidity. Using GPS speed and direction from a GPS receiver input, the system calculates true wind speed and direction. Only a GPS controlled weather station can provide you with this information.
Spray When Conditions Are Right
The X20 Guidance software uses relative humidity and temperature data from the Weather Station to calculate actual Delta T values. Delta T is continually displayed in the status bar of the main guidance window. This allows you to only spray when the conditions are right for the intended application.
Alarms
Audio and visual alarms for out-of-range weather conditions alert the operator to potentially undesirable spraying conditions.
Weather Maps
With the X20 GDX Viewer software, detailed maps and reports of weather conditions by location and date/time can be viewed and printed at any time, or copied onto a thumb-drive to be used by other farm management software. X20 Guidance automatically logs the weather information and saves the data along with the guidance coverage maps.
Easy to Use
The X20 Weather Station fully integrates with the X20 software and uses the same screen configuration and menu system that X20 customers around the world have proven to be the easiest in-vehicle system to use.
- Simple to set up and start using status bar displays of temperature, relative humidity,
Delta T and wind speed.
- Wind direction and vehicle heading are displayed on a compass in the main guidance coverage map area.
