YES MET-2010 Meteorological Environmental Thermohygrometer
This unit was tested by plugging it in. Results: The fan blows. That is the extent of my testing. One of the clips that holds the lid closed is missing.
Description
The Model MET-2010 is a complete precision ambient temperature and dew/frost point measuring system designed for the meteorologist, climatologist, or atmospheric scientist. It provides a superior degree of accuracy and reliability, achieving an absolute accuracy of ±0.05°C in measuring ambient temperature over the entire±50°C range. Dew point temperatures above 0°Care determined to an accuracy of ±0.2°C, while frost point temperatures down to -70°C have an accuracy of ±0.5°C. The system consists of a triple-shielded platinum resistance thermometer and an intelligent, chilled mirror dew/frost point hygrometer sensor. Above 0°C, the hygrometer tracks the dewpoint temperature; below 0°C, it tracks the frost point temperature.
Ambient temperature is highly variable in both time and space, and a single measurement reflects a limited space-time domain. Historically, techniques other than direct measurement of ambient temperature have provided support for the global warming issue, but precise knowledge of atmospheric ambient temperatures is a fundamental component to understanding the Earth’s climatic mechanisms. As we continue collecting ambient temperature data for the climatological database, improvements in the basic measurement are required. While some of the problems of measuring ambient temperature cannot be easily eliminated, basic instrumental and observational errors in climatic temperature measurements can be reduced using the MET-2010.
Features
Highest accuracy available on the market
"Smart" sensor, microprocessor-managed
Outputs in analog voltage and digital RS-232,inputs protected from polarity reversal and overvoltage
Reliable solid-state detection technology; temperature depression permitting dew/frost point measurement to as low as 6% RH
Specially plated hygrometer mirror to prevent corrosion and readily accessible for cleaning through a control box port. No need to open the control box to check the mirror, a plus for maintenance in inclement weather
Automatic detection and indication of fan failure
Precision platinum resistance thermometer
Thermometer triple radiation shields
Applications
The MET-2010 offers nearly an order of magnitude more precision than existing ambient temperature measuring systems, making it ideally suited for:
Professional grade meteorological stations
Aviation weather system upgrades
Field accuracy checks of other field sensors
Industrial calibration laboratories
Agricultural and global climate change research
Mechanical Configuration
The MET-2010 electronics are packaged in a weatherproof NEMA-type PVC enclosure. The thermometer radiation shields are manufactured of aluminum with an electrostatically-applied white powder coating for long life. Electrical and mechanical components are designed to operate over a temperature span of ±50°C; reduced aspirator motor life can be expected when system installation temperatures are below -50°C due to bearing lubricant degradation. The system typically mounts two meters above the ground to a customer tower or support and aimed into the prevailing wind.
Frequently asked questions
How are you?
About the same, thanks for asking.
So what's included in your listing?
Everything you see in the pictures and nothing you don't.
What about the white backdrop? Is the white backdrop included?
No.
How about…
No, anything you see reflected in the shiny surfaces is not included either. Sheesh.
Anything else?
I'll throw in a box.
Oh, a smart guy, eh?
In case that's not rhetorical: I'm no expert, and I'm certainly not smart enough to know about everything that passes my way. I do my best to evaluate the things I sell, but often defer to the superior knowledge of the prospective buyer.
Will you ever learn?
Probably not.
What’s with your hair?
Um…wait, what?
What if the item I buy from you doesn't work?
You have 30 days from receipt to return it for a refund if it doesn't do as I describe.
What if I don't like the color?
Then you have 14 days.
If I tell you how crappy and obsolete your item is in a condescending enough tone, will you do me the favor of selling it to me for a fraction of your asking price?
You sure know how to butter a guy up. No.
I didn’t bother to read your description. Can you fill me in on the details?
Sure. Send a stamped self-addressed envelope to: mehoff58, c/o eBay, Internet.
Can I pick up my winnings in person?
I don't know you well enough to know your capabilities.
OK, may I?
Certainly!
I need your item, so lower your price.
Not really a question. Nope, not a question at all.
I bought this gadget from you 5 months ago and just found out it doesn’t work. Will you refund my money?
30 days is my limit. I can’t afford to keep large stores of cash handy for long warranties on used equipment. Besides, I don’t know how you stored it or handled it or if it was damaged in shipping. Anyway, no.
Did I forget anything?
What am I, a mind reader?
Will you discuss these imaginary conversations with your psychiatrist?
The conversations are quite real, it's you who are imaginary.
You just blew my mind.
Who said that?
I live overseas. Will you declare the value as 10% of the selling price?
No, and I’ll tell you why. Consider these three scenarios:
Scenario one: I agree to declare a lower value as a personal favor to you, a complete stranger. A few days after shipping, I get a call from US Customs asking all kinds of questions about the value of the item, to whom I am sending it, etc. I’m not a good liar.
Scenario two: I agree to declare a lower value as a personal favor to you, a complete stranger. The package gets lost in transit. You go through eBay to get all your money back from me. I’m stuck with a paltry settlement from the USPS.
Scenario three: It’s fraud.
I hope this explanation has been helpful.
