TurfWeather Weather Station
e. Remove the sensor from its post by gently twisting and pulling it
away from the post.
3. Sensor Replacement:
a. Press the new wind direction sensor on the post until it is seated
firmly on the top of the post.
b. Gently twist the sensor body until the raised North reference is
properly aligned. NOTE: Refer to the Quick Start Guide delivered
with the weather station for a picture of a properly aligned wind
direction sensor.
c. Install and tighten the Phillips head screw on the side of the sensor
one half turn beyond when it is initially tight in the hole (after the
screw has bottomed against the sensor post). Gently pull on the sensor
body to assure it is firmly attached to the sensor post. If not, then
tighten the screw until the sensor cannot be moved.
d. Re-attach the three wires to the correct threaded terminal studs and
tighten the nuts using the ¼ inch wrench. NOTE: If you did not note
the correct threaded terminal studs, look at the base of the sensor and
count clockwise from the embossed “N” reference mark. The first stud
will take the black wire, the second the blue wire and the third the red
wire.
e. Unfold the rubber protective boot and assure that it completely covers
the lower portion of the wind direction sensor, just as it did before you
started this process.
4. System Test:
a. Connect the weather station to the Host computer using the RS-232
test cable (if a wired system) and turn on the weather station power
switch. Initiate communications with your weather station using
PC200W or T.Weather.
b. Verify that the wind direction sensor is reporting a position. The
position number should be -0- when the tail of the sensor vane is
aligned with the North reference. Confirm that the wind direction
number increases when the vane is rotated clockwise.
c. Re-install the weather station on its mast.
