eKo Pro Series System
ES2000 –Weather Station Sensor Suite
The Crossbow eKo Pro Series is a wireless agricultural and environmental sensing system for crop monitoring, microclimate studies and environmental research. The ES2000 weather station sensor suite plugs directly into the node providing a true mesh wireless weather station using eKo’s unique ESB capability. This solar powered solution offers an integrated weather sensor suite which combines a rain collector, a temperature and humidity sensor with radiation shield, solar radiation sensor, barometric pressure sensor, and an anemometer in one package. This solution ensures a simple setup with improved performance and reliability.
The ES2000 provides the ability to monitor temperature and humidity to calculate chill hours, heat degree days and dew point, and trigger vital frost alerts and alarms. Rainfall and precipitation data is transmitted every 15 minutes to allow for rain alarms and storm warnings. The data collected from the temperature/humidity sensors along with the solar radiation sensor allow users to display ET (evapotranspiration) data which is an estimate of the water evaporated from plants and provides useful data in determining when and how much to irrigate. Users can use data collected to do forecasting, graphing, set up alerts, etc.
