The GMX531 adds a rain gauge to a full range of weather parameters including solar radiation, wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, absolute humidity, air density and wet bulb temperature readings. The built-in electronic compass automatically aligns the sensor to north. Optional GPS functionality delivers true wind measurements and automatically positions the sensor.

The Gill MaxiMet GMX531 combines the GMX101, GMX200 and GMX300 with a Kalyx tipping bucket rain gauge. It is ideal for measuring a full set of weather parameters, including precipitation in extreme heavy tropical downpour locations.
Three double-louvered naturally aspirated radiation shields deliver long term highly accurate weather data. Parameters measured include temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, absolute humidity, air density and wet bulb temperature.
A Kalyx rain gauge is a compact solution using a low-density plastic tipping bucket calibrated to 0.2mm resolution and manufactured from UV stabilised external materials. An optional mast mounting bracket is available.
The thermal sensor protected by a single glass dome records the quantity of light per metre calculating solar radiation (W/m2), sunshine hours, twilight, sunrise, sunset, position of sun, solar noon and angle of tilt.
The solid state ultrasonic sensor provides extremely accurate wind speed and direction measurements. An electronic compass comes as standard which delivers apparent wind, WMO wind averages and gust data.
The optional GPS adds the benefit of a true wind measurement, height above sea level, latitude and longitude, and simplifies installation by automatically finding north.
Richard Paul Russell Ltd. can connect the sensor to the WeatherFile.com website where data can be viewed using any internet connected device and downloaded for detailed analysis in a .CSV file format.
