TurfWeather Weather Station
Tools Required:
9
½ inch wrench
9
5/16 inch wrench
9
Small needle nosed pliers
1. Preparation:
a. Turn the power switch on the weather station to the “OFF” position.
b. Disconnect the power input cable and ground wire connections from
the weather station, using the 5/16 inch wrench for the ground wire
connection.
c. Remove the weather station from its location by using the ½ inch
wrench to loosen the two U-bolt nuts that secure the weather station to
its mast. NOTE: Do not remove the mast bracket from the weather
station.
d. Bring the weather station to an enclosed location, preferably near the
Host computer, and place it on a flat stable surface.
2. Sensor Removal:
a. Identify the rain gauge as the white rectangular box located in the
center, on top of the weather station.
b. Grasp the main body of the rain gauge and gently pull it off of the
weather station. This will expose two wires, leaving the rain gauge
base attached to the weather station.
c. Remove the wires from their connections inside the rain gauge. The
wires are screwed to a terminal strip, then loosen the screws and
remove the wires.
3. Sensor Replacement:
a. Connect the wires to the replacement rain gauge. Tighten the terminal
screws. It does not matter which wire is attached to which pin, this
connection is not polarity sensitive.
b. You will notice that the rain gauge wires pass through a small
indented location on one side of the rain gauge base. When you
replace the rain gauge back onto its base you must make sure that the
wires are within the indent to assure they will not be crushed or
crimped by the rain gauge.
c. Locate the rain gauge on its base and gently press it down until it is
firmly seated.
