COMPACT WEATHER STATION
MaxiMet GMX301
Solar radiation measurement as a single-parameter node.
GMX301 measures solar radiation and nothing else. It is the option where a site needs a solar radiation node, for example alongside a station that already covers the other parameters, rather than a full compact weather station.
Solar radiation sensor
0 to 1600 W/m²
No moving parts
Compact pyranometer node
One cable, one output string
IP66 rated, 0.6 kg
-35 °C to +70 °C

WHERE IT SITS
MaxiMet GMX301 in the MaxiMet range
The MaxiMet GMX301 is the appropriate configuration where the requirement is solar radiation, and the parameters it does not carry are provided elsewhere or not needed.
MEASUREMENT
What the MaxiMet GMX301 measures
The MaxiMet GMX301 is configured to measure solar radiation. The MaxiMet GMX301 does not measure wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure or rainfall.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Is the MaxiMet GMX301 the correct configuration?
Before specifying, confirm:
- the parameters the application actually requires
- whether wind is needed at this location or measured elsewhere
- the operating temperature and whether heating is required
- the ingress protection the installation demands
- the mounting arrangement and available space
- the interface and output the receiving system expects
If those match the specification above, the MaxiMet GMX301 provides that configuration at 0.6 kg.
QUESTIONS
Specification questions about the MaxiMet GMX301
Which parameters does the MaxiMet GMX301 measure?
