Accurate and up-to-date weather information is essential to the safe and economic operation of any airfield, large or small. Few things change faster than the weather and All Weather Inc.s AWOS system provides the power and versatility necessary to stay on top of those changes. Without weather data, your airport cannot operate under IFR conditions, and this can cost you money in lost landing fees and services.
All series 900 sensors are built with the same high quality you would expect from All Weather Inc. All sensors meet or exceed the requirements of the FAA as well as the requirements of the international governing bodies, ICAO and WMO.
Data Availability
The series 900 AWOS provides an output for the optional system connection to the National Airspace Data Interchange Network, NADIN and the AWOS Data Acquisition System ADAS, which are operated by the FAA to provide information to the Weather Message Switching Service (WMSC). These services provide weather data to Flight Service Stations and commercial airports for pilot briefing, National Weather Service forecasting and other weather services. The connection to NADIN also enables reception of lightning data as well as providing your data to the FAA, NWA and other airports connected to the service. The data from the AWOS is voice synthesized to provide a data report that can be transmitted via VHF radio,

NDB, or VOR to ensure that pilots on approach have the exact weather conditions at your airport. This voice data report is also available by telephone, so that current conditions can be obtained from anywhere. The series 900 uses an IBM compatible computer with a 15 color monitor (optional 17 and 21 screens are available) to process the data and provide data storage and display. The system can archive data for up to 1 year at 5 minute intervals.
The PC has an integral timer that will ensure automatic restart of the system in the event of a power failure. The Series 900 also has an optional uninterruptable power supply that will provide backup power in the event of power failure. The software package of the series 900 displays the data in color with an automatic color change for error messages and off line sensors. The software is menu driven and help screens are available for each menu. The algorithms used in the processing of data are FAA & ICAO approved to ensure accurate data to your airport users.

Remote Display
All Weather Inc. has installed over 300 AWOS systems nationwide
The voice synthesizer system is installed in the PC together with a microphone that allows input of 2 voice remarks, each up to 90 seconds in duration. These NOTAM (Notice To Airmen) messages are automatically broadcast with the synthesized data from the AWOS. The series 900 also supports a system printer for report generation, error message reporting and printing of archived data.
necessity dictates an expansion, simply add the required sensors to bring your system up to AWOS III P/T level. The display system can also be expanded to provide remote displays wherever they are required on the airport.
Expandability
The modular design of the series 900 makes it easy to expand at any time. If you start with an AWOS I and
technician to the exact component that has failed, making the mean time to repair the lowest of any AWOS system.
