If air quality and health protection is the job, AirLink Urban Heat Island Study is the tool: a AirLink-based kit scoped for families, schools, clinics and offices watching air quality. Genuine Davis Instruments hardware, verified compatibility, local stock and local support — the four things that separate a working station from an expensive ornament.

AirLink measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10, temperature and humidity in a compact wireless package. It slots into any Davis network or runs standalone, and its readings feed the same WeatherLink pages and alerts as the big stations.

Below you will find the complete kit with factory part numbers, the reasoning behind each choice, a deployment checklist tuned to Philippine conditions, maintenance expectations, and answers to common questions. When you are ready, the Request a Quote button starts a formal quotation — not a shopping cart.

A note on honesty: no single kit fits every site. This page tells you exactly what this bundle covers and where its limits are, so your quotation request can state them and our reply can address them precisely.

What is in the AirLink Urban Heat Island Study

Every kit below is picked from stock we actually carry. Part numbers are Davis factory SKUs — quote them back to us and we will confirm availability and current peso pricing.

Why this combination works

Hyperlocal air-quality readings for health decisions, not city-wide averages that update too late.
Sensor suite integrated with the AirLink core — specified to the site in the quotation.
Solar-radiation data for energy assessment, agronomy and evapotranspiration work.
Temp scoped to the site at quotation time — no guesswork in the final quote.

Deployment guide

Mount outdoors away from kitchen exhausts and genset fumes.
Pair with temperature and humidity context for proper AQI interpretation.
Share the public WeatherLink page with family, staff or parents.
Set personal thresholds for alerts rather than relying on generic advisories.
Revisit placement after the first month of readings.

Site survey checklist

Confirm mounting surface, mast height and who grants roof or ground permission.
Walk the wireless path between mast and console; note concrete walls and metal roofs.
Identify the nearest power outlet for the console and any gateway.
Photograph obstructions in all four compass directions for the quotation.
Note flood history and storm exposure so mounts are specified honestly.

Built for Philippine conditions

Metro Manila and lowland cities regularly breach healthy PM2.5 levels in the dry months, and Taal vog drifts without warning. A hyperlocal AirLink reading beats city-wide averages when deciding on masks, outdoor classes or clinic ventilation. One sensor changes household decisions within a week.

Data, connectivity and power

The AirLink core logs continuously and shares data through the indoor console and WeatherLink services. Sensor links are wireless for easy retrofits; where sites demand it we specify cabled variants. Solar trickle-charging with battery backup carries the outdoor suite through overcast weeks and brownouts, and every reading is timestamped for later export and analysis.

Day to day, most owners live on two screens: the console at a glance and the WeatherLink page on their phone. Console alarms cover immediate thresholds such as heat index or gust spikes, while the cloud archive handles weekly reviews, monthly reports and year-on-year comparisons. When you request a quotation, tell us who needs to see the data and on what devices — we will make sure the right display and sharing path is in the kit rather than bolted on afterwards.

What this kit does not cover

No honest page skips this. This bundle does not include installation labour, masonry or electrical work, permits, or internet service at the site. It does not replace official PAGASA warnings for public safety decisions. And if your site needs parameters outside this kit — water level, for example — say so in the inquiry and we will scope them as add-ons instead of pretending one station measures everything.

Maintenance and local support

Wipe the rain collector funnel seasonally, check mount hardware after typhoons, and keep firmware current through WeatherLink. Spares come from our Philippine warehouse — not from an overseas cart — with local advice when something behaves oddly. If a sensor ever reads suspiciously, send us a photo of the install and the console screen; most issues are siting, not hardware.

Budget thirty minutes a quarter: a soft brush for the collector, a glance at cable ties and U-bolts, and a check that the console still shows full reception bars. Stations that get this basic attention routinely run a decade or more, and every wearable part — from cups and vanes to batteries and bird spikes — is a stocked spare part with a factory number, not a reason to replace the system.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add more sensors later?

Yes. The Davis ecosystem is modular: soil, leaf-wetness, solar, UV and air-quality sensors join the same network without replacing the base station. Many buyers start with the core kit on this page and expand at the next budget cycle — mention future plans in your inquiry so we leave the right expansion path open.

How do I get a price for this kit?

Use the Request a Quote button below or the inquiry form. Tell us quantities, delivery location and any special requirements; our team replies with a formal quotation against current stock. No prices are published because peso pricing moves with stock and exchange rates — the quotation you receive is firm.

How long does delivery take?

Stocked components ship from our Philippine warehouse; lead times for non-stocked parts are confirmed in the quotation before you commit. Provincial deliveries add standard courier time, which we state upfront.

Is installation included?

Metro Cebu installations can be arranged; elsewhere we supply a mounting guide with the kit and remote guidance during your install. Complex mast work should use a local rigger — we specify the mount so any competent installer succeeds.

Is one AirLink enough for a school or office?

One covers its immediate microclimate. Campuses and multi-building sites add units per block and compare readings side by side; quotations scale per building.
