TurfWeather Weather Station
4.
Reassemble the mounting cover and tube assemble with the new sensor
onto the main body.
5.
System Test:
a.
Connect the weather station to the Host computer using the short RS-
232 test cable (if a wired system) and turn on the weather station
power switch. Initiate communications with the weather station using
PC200W or T.Weather.
b.
Verify that the temperature and relative humidity sensors are reporting
values. Gently blow air into the sensor protective screen on the bottom
of the weather station and verify that both the temperature and relative
humidity values increase. Stop blowing air on the sensors, and after a
brief period the values should slowly decrease until the sensors return
to equilibrium with the surrounding environment.
c.
Re-install the weather station on its mast, and then reconnect power
and earth ground cables.
3.13 Solar Radiation Sensor (P/N 14009) Removal and
Replacement Procedure
The removal and replacement of a TurfWeather weather station solar radiation
sensor does not require training, special tools, or test equipment. However, the
main body of the weather station does need to be opened, and the person
replacing this sensor should observe basic electro-static discharge (ESD)
precautions (described below) to avoid damage to the weather station
electronics inside the main body of the weather station. There is no personal
electrical hazard involved, and this procedure can be accomplished by anyone
possessing basic mechanical skills. Please read this entire procedure before
beginning work.
