Cellular Radio Status 

Do not use this command if no cellular radio is fitted. 

Weather Report 

If a MetPak is fitted to the RLC, basic weather 
information is available. 

The  MetPak  reports  the  current  parameters 
every  second  and  these  are  buffered  by  the 
RLC. 

The default units are those shown (right) and 
can be changed to using the radio buttons to 
the desired local units. 

The  altitude  of  the  weather  station  must  be 
entered  (and  is  stored  in  SMS)  in  order  for 
the  reported  barometric  pressure  to  be 
properly 

reported, 

corrected 

for 

the 

installation altitude of the MetPak. 

Pressing  Refresh  re-reads  the  data  from  the 
MetPak/RLC.  

Depending  on  customer  demand,  additional 
processing  of  the  data  may  be  possible  to 
provide  trending,  max  and  min  and  gusting 
for example. 

 

GPS Report 

Not implemented in this version of SMS. 

Solar Status 

Not implemented in this version of SMS. 

 

8.10  Reset & Restore 

Of  the  menu  options,  only  the  Reset  Factory  Defaults  option  is 
available to Managers but not to Users. 

The  program  and/or  channel  settings  along  with  all  of  the 
configuration  and  calibration  data  are  re-loaded  with  the  product 
default values. All user settings are lost.
