RAWS-F Remote Automated Weather
Station for Fire Weather
1. Introduction
The RAWS Quick Deployment Weather Station is a lightweight, pre-
configured station that can be set up in less than 10 minutes—without tools
(see Section 2—Getting Started). The aluminum environmental enclosure
houses a 12 V rechargeable battery and a CR1000 datalogger mounted to a 6 ft
tripod. The outside of the enclosure has color-coded, keyed connectors (Figure
1-1) for attaching the sensors. Besides the connectors, a wiring panel is
included that allows the measurement of additional sensors. Communication
options include satellite transmitter and voice radio interface module.
Additional communication equipment (telephone, cellular phone, radio) can be
added to the station. This station is ideal for prescribed burns or other
temporary installations. The RAWS-F Quick Deployment Weather Station is
shown in Figure 1-2.
