WS-PRO, WS-PRO2 and
WS-PRO LT Weather Stations
Optimize Irrigation With Automatic Weather-Sensitive Scheduling!
Eliminate unnecessary watering and reduce costs with Rain Bird’s WS-PRO, WS-PRO2 and WS-PRO LT weather stations. Used in conjunction with Rain Bird central control systems (Cirrus™, Nimbus™II and Stratus™II), these weather stations provide the weather data you need to optimize your irrigation watering times, reduce water usage and costs and limit or eliminate turf damage.
Generate Alarms for…
Rain
High or Low Ambient Temperatures
High Winds
Rainfall Intensity
Soil Temperatures* * (requires additional sensor, sold separately)
… that exceed user-defined thresholds
in user-defined time periods.
Once set, the system will reset alarms automatically when temperature, rain or wind conditions are again within acceptable ranges for irrigation.
Features and Benefits
Automatic Shut Off/Turn On – Rain Bird central control systems automatically shut OFF irrigation to the entire system or to specific areas (teebox, fairway, green, etc…) when alarm conditions are detected at the weather station. They also automatically turn ON irrigation when weather conditions return to the acceptable range for irrigation.
Automatic Pause/Resume – Rain Bird central control systems automatically suspend irrigation to the entire system or specific areas (teebox, fairway, greens, etc…) when alarm conditions are detected by the weather station. They also automatically resume irrigation when weather conditions return to the acceptable range for irrigation.
Automatic Notification – These weather stations can automatically notify you at the central control or through a paging system when alarm conditions exist.
Superior ET Model – Rain Bird’s central control systems use weather sensor input to determine evapotranspiration (ET) rates based upon the industry standard Penman-Monteith equation for ET.
Automatic ET Download/Selective Usage – Automatically download weather data daily and calculate ET to determine irrigation times for the entire system or specific areas, holes or stations.
ET Override – Allows you to easily set certain programs to ignore ET values when determining runtimes.
Cost Savings – ET adjusted irrigation times apply only the water you need to replace the water lost from the soil reservoir. More efficient irrigation results in less water wasted for non-beneficial reasons resulting in reduced pump station operation, and lower energy costs.
Rain Bucket – Allows rainfall from one day to be carried over to the following day(s) for more accurate ET calculations.
Multiple Station Capacity – Connect up to five weather stations to one central control system for more precise ET values based upon different weather conditions around the golf course.
Max Rain Fall – User-defined Max Rain Fall can be set to limit the amount of acceptable rainfall for clay soil types or other areas that are subject to high runoff.
Reliable Sensor Input – Weather stations are equipped with a full sensor array, providing accurate measurements of seven different types of weather data:
Air Temperature
Wind Speed
Solar Radiation
Wind Direction
Relative Humidity
Rainfall
Weather Data Reports – Generate reports to show current or past weather conditions by the hour, day, week, month or year.
Unlimited Data Storage – Store unlimited weather data at the central control.
Multiple Languages – Choose from ten different languages (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish or Chinese).
English or Metric Measurement Units – Select between English or Metric units of measure.
