An external SD memory card can be used to increase the memory space of DMU801. DMU801 supports SD cards up to 32 GB.

Vaisala has tested and verified the use of SD card type SDHC 32 GB with DMU801. If you use some other card, follow these specifications:SD card specifications

When you insert a new memory card into DMU801, the software checks that the card is ready for use.

By default, DMU801 uses its internal memory to store the data. If you insert an external memory card, use DMU801 Configuration Tool to update the configuration to use the memory card as data storage.
1 Depends on the installation location and application. For some locations, a more limited range may be acceptable. For weather station purposes, wide temperature range cards are strongly recommended, especially if they are used as logging memory and left in the station for a long time.
2 Recommended for maximum reliability, especially if the SD card is used as logging memory.
