CHAPTER 2

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This chapter introduces the MAWS Automatic Weather Station

features, advantages, and the product nomenclature.

Introduction to MAWS301

MAWS301 Automatic Weather Station is a new generation automatic

weather station especially designed for applications where no

commercial power or communication networks are present, or are too

expensive to be installed. Due to its flexibility and economical design,

MAWS301 is also an ideal choice for hydrometeorological and

hydrological applications. The possibility to use the same and standard

equipment for many different requirements lowers the cost of training,

spare parts, and logistic support.

MAWS301 has been designed for applications where only a few

sensors are required. However, MAWS301 can be easily upgraded,

even in the field, to include a larger set of sensors including smart

sensors such as ceilometer, visibility and present weather sensors, and

water quality probes. The same basic system with its options and

accessories can provide with all the needs of meteorological and

hydrological networks. The MAWS301 options are listed in Table 4

on page 18, Table 5 on page 19, and Table 6 on page 19.

The system setup is done using Lizard Setup Software. In addition,

there are some generic sensor inputs in the Lizard software, allowing

for limited flexibility to add new sensors to the system.

The system configuration can vary from small hydrological systems

(see Figure 1 on page 16) to large integrated systems (see Figure 2 on

page 17).
