CHECKING THE
COMMUNICATIONS
WIRE PATH:
Before initially connecting a direct
connect or phone line weather station,
or when troubleshooting the weather
station and the communication wiring is
suspect, check the communication wires
for their integrity.
LOOP RESISTANCE
Connect the pair of wires, you will be
checking, together at the far end. Using
a volt/ohm meter, measure across the
wire loop. A
“GOOD”
wire path has
less than
600
OHMS
resistance across
the loop.
GROUND RESISTANCE
Disconnect the communication wires at
the MSP-1 pipe surge arrestor, located
at the Weather Station. Using a
volt/ohm meter, set the dial to
R x 1K
and measure from each wire to earth
ground. A
“GOOD”
wire path has a
high resistance to earth ground, of at
least
750,000 OHMS
or greater.
A “WS-PRO-SH” DIRECT
CONNECT WEATHER STATION
Weather Station will not answer.
Test the wire path using a known
“Good”
RAD SRM-5A
Short Haul
Modem.
