TurfWeather Weather Station
4.
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; or initiate communications if your weather station is
wireless.
b.
Gently remove the top portion (catch basin) of the rain gauge and
identify the black spoon shaped tipping bucket inside the rain gauge.
c.
Using your index finger, gently press the spoon down until you hear a
faint “click” sound. This is the tip counting switch responding to the
tiny magnet on the side of the spoon shaped tipping bucket. Repeat
this action several times and look for a change in the rain values
reported by the PC200W or T.Weather. Each click is equal to 0.04
inches (1 mm) of rain. NOTE: Every rain gauge is factory calibrated
before it is shipped. If you want to validate calibration please refer to
the calibration instructions for the rain gauge and complete the
calibration before you reinstall the weather station on its mast.
d.
Replace the catch basin on the rain gauge and re-install the weather
station on its mast.
