The Skywatch BL-1000 is a rugged portable weather station designed for rapid deployment. It has been developed by and for professionals who need to make measurements of and document local weather conditions, e.g. fire brigades, incident response, police, open-air exhibitions, stage operators, construction companies and agriculture.

The Skywatch BL-1000 is a complete weather station which provides accurate measurements of wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humdity and barometric pressure, and relays these to a dedicated smart-phone application and secure data warehouse.
The BL-1000 is capable of storing data locally on a smart-phone or tablet, and transferring the measurements to a data-warehouse with map visualisation.
Data can subsequently be extracted from the map to a CSV (comma separated variable file) for subsequent processing evaluation.
Features
Visual monitoring of live measurements:
The overview screen offers all important data at a glance. This makes it easy to check the measured values simply by observing the display. The overview
screen also shows battery level, if an alarm has occurred and indicattes if recording is in progress.
Historical data stored on the smartphone:
By tapping on one of the screen quadrants, you may view the measurement data history of the individual sensors (wind speed, temperature, air humidity and
air pressure as a line chart).
Mean values, minimum and maximum values are recorded with dashed lines. The period for which the measured data remains visible as a line chart is adjustable
between 10 seconds and 6 hours. The line graphs can be scaled to take a closer look at specific measurement points.
Two adjustable alarm levels for wind speed:
The Skywatch Guard APP is equipped with two wind speed alarms: warning and danger. In addition, a normal wind speed may be defined which cancels the alarms
if the wind speed reduces below a defined level (if the normal wind speed is undefined, any alarms created will continue until manually cancelled).
The two wind speeds at which the alarm is to be triggered can be freely defined in the settings in meters per second.
Data-logging function and tracking:
The logging function can be easily toggled on and off in the upper right corner by activating the red record button. The measurement interval is set to
1 second. As long as the logging function is switched on, the measured data is averaged every 10 seconds and then stored in a local log file on the
smart device.
Online data stored on Skywatch map server:
The Skywatch BL1000 offers even more: create a free password-protected account on the Skywatch site. If the application has an Internet connection, then
your current measurement data will be uploaded to the server and may be viewed on the map, viewed and downloaded as a CSV (comma-separated variable)
file.
This possibility enables command centres to monitor multiple spatially-separated measuring stations.
