INTRODUCTION
The
110-WS-S10 Portable Weather Station
combines an easy-to-use logger with your choice of
weather instrument in an easy to carry package. The tripod, mast, and tie-downs are stored in a
separate padded carrying bag with shoulder strap. The system can be set up where needed within
minutes.
The logger stores serial data on a 2GB SD card. After logging, the card is removed and can be uploaded
by means of the included memory card reader. The daily .CSV files can be read and analyzed using
standard PC software.
The low power requirement of the logger and many of the available sensors make it possible for the unit
to run for several days before the battery must be recharged. For longer operation, the included battery
charger or an optional solar panel can be connected.
A USB cable is included for monitoring the output of the sensor in real-time (the logger can be
collecting data simultaneously). The USB cable also makes it possible to re-configure the sensor, in case
any parameters need to be changed.
This manual will focus on the set-up and operation of the logger, and will not cover all details regarding
the sensor. Information on sensor installation, operation, and configuration will be found in the
sensor's user manual.
