4.1.1.1 Connection Diagram Standard Data Cable
Caution:
If you want to use the station for data recording without connected computer, you
should disable the COM-port and then connect pin 2 (RXD) and pin3 (TXD) of the 9-pole plug.
You may build a connector with these 2 pins shorted and plug it onto the 9-pole female of your
RS232 datacable. Don't let the RS-232 female unconnected, for disturbances on the cable may
lead to malfunction of the weatherstation then! To connect a PC again, remove the shorting plug,
connect the standard cable to the PC and enable the COM-port with again.
