The Contingency Cost primarily contains possible risks in the planned
purchase such as a defective product, late delivery, inability to deliver
at all, or inability to support the investment with spare parts and
upgrades during the life time of the equipment, frequently calculated
as 10- 15 years. Vaisala, as the largest manufacturer of meteorological
systems, can guarantee timely delivery. In addition, it is Vaisala’s
policy to support its equipment for its whole lifetime with spare parts,
training, upgrades and technical support, incl. HelpDesk functions.
Reliability and Flexibility
Vaisala's HydroMet Station MAWS301 combines Vaisala's and
Handar's long term expertise with a new, compact data logger design.
The design has been derived from field experience with the
MILOS200, MILOS500, QLC50, QLI50 and Handar's 555 systems in
synoptic, climatological, hydrological and research applications and in
the most demanding industrial use. There are over 25,000 of these
pieces of equipment installed in over 70 countries.
MAWS HydroMet systems are an excellent choice for applications
requiring ease of installation, low power consumption, automatic
operation and interfacing with modern telecommunication options
such as satellite transmitters and packed-switched data networks.
The MAWS systems are easy to install and maintain. All connections
are pre-wired. The sensors are equipped with ready-made cables and
connectors/glands for quick installation. All optional modules such as
modems, mains power supplies and surge arrestors are easily mounted
on DIN-rails without any special tools.
