FIGURE 2-2. Line-of-sight examples. As the dotted line indicates,
Station 1 has a clear line-of-sight with the Computer Site. The mountain
obstructs Station 2’s line-of-sight and would reduce or possibly prevent
wireless communications.
2.3.2.3 Testing Radio Transmissions
To test the radio transmission of your weather station, carry the weather station
to the site attached to the tripod or mounting pole then attempt to communicate
with the weather station using the host computer. See the TurfWeather Quick
Start Guide section for instructions. Only turn key switch on during testing
when charging cable is not connected to avoid battery damage.
If obstructions in the line of sight are preventing the weather station from
communicating, try the following:
x
Relocate your weather station away from obstructions.
x
Remove the obstructions.
x
Mount the computer base station antenna outside of the building by
running the antenna cable through a window or cable run.
x
Use a higher gain antenna (optional) at the computer site.
x
Install a higher gain antenna (optional) on the roof of the computer site’s
building and align it above the obstructions.
If you are still experiencing problems communicating, you can
contact your distributor. To allow us to effectively help you,
please be prepared to describe, in detail, your installation and site
conditions. NOTE
