Vaisala HydroMet System MAWS100
Optimized product for
hydro-meteorological
monitoring
MAWS100 is a compact system for
hydro-meteorological monitoring
when a small number of sensors and
limited number of telemetry options
are required. It is especially designed
for unmanned operations at remote
sites requiring high reliability and low
power consumption. MAWS100 uses
a field proven and highly accurate
Vaisala data logger technology with
advanced software. MAWS100 is
well suited for the Vaisala Weather
Transmitter WXT510, and for cellular
telemetry.
Ease of use and
maintenance
The system architecture is designed
to support a broad range of

Low Total-Life-Cycle Cost
analog and serial sensors. Sensor
measurements, statistical calculations,
data logging on a compact flash card
and versatile data transmissions
are performed according to a user-
configured setup made with the user
friendly Vaisala Setup Software Lizard.
Vaisala Real-time Display Software
YourVIEW is included for viewing real-
time data as required.
Field-proven reliability of MAWS100
enclosures feature IP66 (NEMA4X)
protection. In MAWS100 all sensors
and telemetry devices are connected
to the system using high quality
polyurethane cables with IP68
connectors allowing quick and trouble
free installation.
