Model 110-WS-16-A Modular Weather Station
Instruction Manual
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Note: The WS-16-A nomenclature refers to the firmware version 4.0.8 and up.
Congratulations on your purchase of a WS-16-A Weather Station and welcome to the
world of modular, user-friendly weather data collection. The WS-16-A has been
carefully designed with the user in mind and we are confident that it will provide you
with convenient and accurate weather data for years to come.
The WS-16-A is a state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based weather station that provides
capabilities unequaled in similarly priced instruments. In its standard configuration,
measurements for wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity,
barometric pressure, and precipitation are collected and processed by the data
acquisition module.
Any, or all, of these weather parameters can be included by simply adding the
appropriate sensors. The exact configuration is determined by the user, based on
demands of the intended application.
Future enhancements will make the WS-16-A even more responsive to your needs.
The EEPROM in which the operating firmware is stored can be electronically updated to
simplify future firmware upgrades.
1.1 Data Output, Display, and Logging
Real-time weather data is output by the WS-16-A over its RS232 interface. This text
data can be viewed using either a PC-based communications program or an optional
display software package purchased with your WS-16-A station.
Special consideration has been given in the design of the WS-16-A’s display of current
weather data to ensure ease of understanding by the first-time or casual user.
In addition to current weather information, the WS-16-A’s data logging capability allows
up to 45 days of data taken at 15 minute intervals to be stored in memory for later
retrieval.
1.2 Current Observations
This display is a one-page report of current weather conditions, with each parameter
clearly labeled on the screen. (See Figure 4, Page 9.)
In addition to the measured parameters, the WS-16-A calculates values for wind chill
and dew point. The WS-16-A also reports specific aspects of the measured parameters
