Aquatech, Inc.'s Scientific Instruments Division (ASI) is proud to introduce a cost-effective weather alert instrument, the DBX-1, our precision digital barograph. It's a Storm Warner / Fair Weather Alert device, replacing less accurate, antiquated aneroid barographing barometers... at 25% the cost!
DBX-1 is a simple to use, a low-cost, highly reliable early Warning system for detecting low-pressure storm systems approaching....showing a 1-day, and a 5-day weather time barograph image on a well back-lit digital display.

A state-of-the-art Pressure Sensor allows the DBX-1 to detect atmospheric pressure changes. Having NO MOVING PARTS to wear out, and being more accurate than old aneroid barographs...the DBX-1 requires NO pens or ink, or even paper! And an upgradeable firmware means features can be easily added! Mounting brackets are available along with Power Adapters for U.K., Europe and Australia. Please see the order page for options.

Our Customers....marine industry, professional weathermen, researchers...as well as home-weather enthusiasts, storm-chasers, and governmental agencies .



Even the best barometer tells only the current pressure, nothing more. Knowing the pressure is like knowing the Dow Jones average for any one moment: we really need to know which way it is heading, and how fast. The DBX1 is a precision digital barograph. Barographs are recording barometers. The DBX1 digital barograph displays the trend (up, steady, or down) and the rate of change via a 20 column bargraph. And since changes in pressure generally precede new weather, the DBX1 barograph can help us "see" what's coming.

As an example, rising pressure most often indicates clearing and cooler, where as falling pressure usually points to warmer, more cloudy, and possible precipitation. A rapidly falling pressure is almost always accompanied by a storm with high wind conditions. And a rapidly rising pressure is almost always accompanied by higher winds and clearing conditions. An unchanging pressure means continuing conditions and little wind. The crest or trough of a pressure curve most often indicates a change of wind direction.[*]

With these forecasting tips you can use the DBX1 barograph as your first defense against oncoming weather.
