Pessl Instruments nMETOS FROST User Manual

ACTIVATE YOUR WEATHER FORECAST
With the activation of subscription for the 3-months localised weather
forecast, real-time measured data from your station's wet and dry
bulb temperature sensors are coupled with an accurate prediction of
temperature trends over the next 48 hours. This allows you to know
your current orchard and/or field conditions, a site-specific forecast for
the key frost conditions and to track the historical trends. This graph is
part of the Extreme Weather Monitoring page (see figure below).
To activate the Weather Forecast, contact your local distributor or
license@metos.at.
SET YOUR REAL-TIME FROST ALERTS
From site-specific sensors, the frost module provides the
measurements of wet and dry bulb temperature. When a frost event is
close to happening an alert is sent by text, sound and email. This way
growers know the exact moment in which crops are at risk and this
will help save them money. Furthermore, it can determine if your frost
mitigation tools are having the desired effect or need to be adjusted
for efficiency.
To set new alerts go to Settings > Notifications.

MAINTAINING THE nMETOS FROST
The frost module should be checked periodically to ensure that
sensors are in optimal condition. Regular maintenance is necessary for
flawless operation and durability.
At the beginning of the new season, check that the station is working
correctly and, in particular, that the plastic bottle is full of water; if the
bottle is empty the wet bulb temperature will not be accurate.
