AWS Series · Environmental Monitoring Systems
Solar-Powered, Field-Deployable, and Built for Real-Time Data Over GSM/4G
Automatic Weather Station (AWS) functions as a field-deployable environmental monitoring system that captures and sends meteorological data instantly, covering wind speed, rainfall, soil moisture, and solar radiation. Centered on an industrial-grade datalogger and a completely modular sensor suite, each AWS is set up sensor-by-sensor to meet the precise monitoring needs of a location, be it a farm, an airport, a river basin, or a remote border post.
Product Overview
Each Sertel AWS station is built to function unattended in the field for years. A fully programmable datalogger continuously samples every connected sensor, timestamps each reading with GPS or NTP synchronization, and sends the data via GSM, GPRS, or 4G at intervals chosen by the client. A solar panel coupled with a sealed battery supplies power during low-light periods, and a 3.5" or 5" touchscreen display lets field engineers see live readings and modify settings without a laptop.
Since the sensor suite is modular, each AWS deployment can be tailored. For instance, a hydrology station may contain rainfall, soil moisture, and barometric pressure sensors, whereas an agriculture site might add leaf wetness and solar radiation sensors for crop-disease modelling. Sensor selection, transmission intervals, communication protocols, and output data formats are all set to the client's requirements prior to shipping the station. The datalogger, sensors, solar supply, and telemetry hardware all come standardly protected against lightning and overvoltage.
Key Features
Industrial-Grade Datalogger
A fully programmable datalogger samples every connected sensor at a minimum of once per second, with scan rates up to 1000 Hz for fast-changing parameters like wind gusts. A 24-bit SAR ADC, accurate to within ±1 LSB, and 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs keep every reading precise.
GSM / GPRS / 4G Telemetry
Weather data transmits over 4G/LTE Cat 1, GPRS, Ethernet, RS-485, or RS-232, with GPS or NTP time sync keeping every record accurate to the minute. Stations report battery charge and uptime to the data centre daily, so a coverage gap gets flagged before it becomes lost data.
Solar-Powered Autonomy
A 50 W or larger solar panel and a 12 V, 65 Ah sealed maintenance-free battery keep the station running through cloudy weeks, with a dedicated charge regulator guarding both battery and electronics against overcharge and deep discharge.
Rugged & Weatherproof
The datalogger enclosure is IP67-rated and built in powder-coated mild steel, cold-rolled steel, or ABS depending on site conditions. The full system operates from -50°C to +70°C across 0-100% relative humidity, with lightning and overvoltage protection on every connected device.
Modular Sensor Suite
Choose from eight sensor types: temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction (ultrasonic or cup-and-vane), barometric pressure, rainfall, solar radiation, soil moisture, and leaf wetness, and integrate only what the site requires through SDI-12, Modbus, RS-485, or analog interfaces.
Configurable Touchscreen HMI
A 3.5" or 5" touchscreen LCD gives field staff local access to live readings and station settings, while PC-based software handles remote programming, configuration, and full data retrieval from the office.
How It Works
The Sertel Automatic Weather Station turns raw field conditions into decision-ready data without a single manual step. Sensors, datalogger, solar supply, and telemetry work as one continuous pipeline, so the reading on your dashboard is always live, not a delayed upload.
Every connected sensor, from the ultrasonic wind sensor to the soil moisture probe, samples continuously: up to 1000 Hz for fast-changing readings like wind gusts, and at least once per second for everything else.
The 24-bit industrial datalogger timestamps each reading against a GPS or NTP-synchronized clock and writes it to non-volatile memory, so no data point is lost even if the connection drops.
Data flows directly from the datalogger to your dashboards through the cloud server, via Ethernet, 4G/LTE, RS-485, or SMS, depending on your setup.
Field teams and head-office staff see the same live readings, historical trends, and battery status. The station reports its own online status daily, so a gap in coverage never goes unnoticed.
Applications
From precision farms to border outposts, every AWS configuration is matched to the parameters, protocols, and ruggedness its sector demands.
Modular Sensor Suite
Each sensor in the AWS suite is built to hold its calibration in the field for years, not months. Every sensor connects directly to the central datalogger and can be added, removed, or swapped without redesigning the rest of the station, so the configuration below can be treated as a menu rather than a fixed package.
