The Wireless Windrow Manager system works with our popular Windrow Manager software package to make temperature monitoring and record keeping easier than ever. Now you can see what's happening with every compost pile, windrow or bay on your facility without ever leaving your office.
This is how it works: The battery-powered probe automatically transmits temperature readings to the wireless base station from up to 1 mile away (7 miles with wireless repeater station). Data is then logged internally by the base station to be retrieved periodically by Windrow Manager software running on a Windows™ PC. The PC software allows you to view current temperatures and to view and print temperature records for all your compost batches.
The rugged stainless-steel probe, with its weatherproof head, is built to withstand the corrosive conditions of composting. The full system includes the wireless base station, as many wireless temperature probes as are required, and the Windrow Manager facility management software for Windows computers.
