Davis Rain
The Davis Rain Gauge is an entry level, tipping bucket rain gauge. It can connect to a range of Harvest devices and is commonly used on farms, vineyards, and orchards etc.
For long term accurate rainfall measurement we recommend the Hyquest TB series.

Kisters TB7
The Kisters TB7 rain gauge is a mid priced gauge from Kisters - a world leading manufacturer of met grade products. The TB7 has the same internal tipping bucket mechanism and excellent leaf filter of the industrial grade TB6. The only real difference is that the rain collector is plastic whereas the TB6 has an aluminium collector. With long term accuracy of ±5% this is the best value rain gauge for high quality measurements at a reasonable price.

Kisters TB4 Rain Gauge
The Kisters TB4 Series II is a high-quality tipping bucket rain gauge for measuring rainfall in urban and rural locations. Due to the integrated syphon, the gauge delivers high levels of accuracy across a broad range of rainfall intensities.
The time proven design of the TB6 Series II with accuracy of ±3% ensures long-term, accurate and repeatable results. It is manufactured from high quality, durable materials ensuring long-term stability in the harshest of environments. It consists of a robust powder-coated aluminium enclosure, a UV-resistant ASA polymer base, and stainless steel fasteners and leaf filter.

Tru Track Solar Radiation
The Tru Track Solar Radiation sensor is made in New Zealand and is used on many Harvest systems to provide sunlight hours and as part of the calculation for Potential Evapotranspiration (ET).
Davis Mechanical Wind Sensor
The Davis Anemometer is an entry level, combined wind speed and direction sensor made from UV-stable ABS plastic. It can connect to a number of Harvest devices and is commonly used on farms, vineyards, and orchards etc. Like all mechanical wind sensors the bearings wear over time and give low wind readings. We recommend replacing this sensor every 3 to 5 years to maintain optimum performance.
For long term accurate wind measurement we recommend one of our ultrasonic wind sensors.

Ecowitt Ultrasonic Wind + THP Sensor
The Ecowitt features ultrasonic wind speed and direction measurement, capable of recording up to 40m/s (144km/h, 89mph) along with air temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure. It boasts long-term stability of ultrasonic wind readings at an affordable price point (no mechanical wear and tear - calibration will not drift), with low power draw - making it compatible with all current generation Harvest devices equipped with an SDI-12 port.
Harvest Ultrasonic Wind Sensor
The Harvest Ultrasonic wind sensor is a mid priced sensor which measures wind speed and direction up to 60m/s (216 km/hr, 130mph). It has no moving parts so does not suffer bearing wear like mechanical wind sensors. The sensor has SDI-12, RS232 and RS485 interfaces for use on almost any brand of logger. It can do internal averaging to output the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) standard 10 min average and 3 sec gust. The sensor draws 7mA at 12V which makes it suitable for solar power operation.
