Micro Weather Station (MWS
®
) User Guide – Commercial Series
Initial Operation
After the MWS is properly installed and powered on, the system reports its GPS location, which can take
15-30 minutes depending on satellite signal strength.
The station will not transmit weather data without
a successful GPS sync, so please ensure that the unit is outdoors with a clear view of the sky to
guarantee a strong GPS signal
. If the unit is indoors or unable to acquire a GPS signal, it will keep trying to
acquire satellites before reporting weather data. Make sure the unit is placed in an ideal location for
operation (see the “Site Selection” section above). Each time the unit is turned off and on, it will repeat the
15-30-minute GPS sync before reporting weather data.
Default Settings
When the MWS is first powered on, the default settings of operation are as follows:
1-hour reporting mode
Camera sends no images (C500/600 models only)
GPS latitude/longitude/elevation reported
Ceilometer set on auto (C600 models only)
The settings of your MWS can be changed using the Quantimet website and are stored on the unit even
after it is powered off.
