APPENDIX 6 – INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Every time one visits the weather station and the
LAS
(preferably at a 2 week interval) it is
recommended to follow the inspection procedure given here:
1. Check the power supply of the weather station (Solar panel and battery)
Check if the green LED labelled “RUN” of the COMBILOG data logger is activated. If so the
display of the COMBILOG should show the actual date and time and the real time
measurements of all sensors.
In case the COMBILOG is NOT responding check the power supply. First, check the LED
information of the solar controller (see error messages (left LED 1, Table 7) and state of
charge battery (right LED 2, Table 8)).
Table 7: Status and color left LED 1 of Solar Controller (error messages).

In case the solar controller is operational, the battery is in good condition (SOC > 50 %) and
the load is connected, but the data logger and sensors are not functioning check the fuse
located at the overvoltage protection unit (see Figure 38, location 1).
When the solar controller is not operational (all LED’s are switched off) check the fuses
located in front of the solar controller and the fuse located at the plus pole of the battery (see
Figure 38, location 2 and 3).
