The Capricorn FLX Vehicle-Mount Weather System provides weather monitoring for mobile Command Post operations. Internal system components are permanently mounted in the vehicle. The telescoping sensor mast and affixed sensors are detachable for transportation storage, then simply clicks into place once on-scene – ready for immediate operations. The entire system is operational within minutes to provide critical weather information where and when it is needed.

The Capricorn FLX features a durable aluminum/stainless steel wind direction and speed sensor. This sensor offers two-degree compass-point wind direction resolution and superior accuracy.

Weather Parameters Monitored • Temperature • Barometric pressure • Wind direction • Wind speed with gust and average wind • Relative humidity • Heat index • Wind chill • Daily max/min • Rainfall (optional)

The 9-ft telescoping sensor mast is made of rugged anodized aluminum, with heavy-duty powdered-coated steel mounting brackets which are permanently installed on the vehicle. An alternate collapsible roof mount mast is available.
