TurfWeather Weather Station
3. Install the Campbell Scientific PC200W Software on your computer.
4. Connect the serial cable male connector to the weather station RS-232
port and the serial cable female connector to a computer serial port
(Figure 1-2).
FIGURE 1-2. Serial cable (left) and the weather station serial port in
which the serial cable male connector connects.
A dust cover must be removed from the weather station RS-232 port
before connecting the cable.
a. Ensure the computer serial port is not already assigned to an
open program. NOTE
b. If you’re connecting the cable to a USB port, a serial-to-USB
converter cable is required and optionally available from
Campbell Scientific P/N 16878,USB-AD.
If the TurfWeather station has been configured for use with the
optional external battery back, no internal battery is inside of the
weather station. The station must be powered from the external
battery unit prior to turning on the key in step 5. To do this, the
cable (P/N 18971) should be connected to the “AUXILIARY”
connector on the bottom of the TurfWeather station and to the
external battery unit. Refer to Section 3.9 of the manual, but
note that the internal battery has already been removed.
NOTE
5. Turn the key to the on position (Figure 1-3). This is the power on/off
switch for the weather station. The weather station will be running on
battery power only at this point. Remember to turn this switch off
whenever possible when the charging cable is not connected to prevent
damaging the battery.
