System Start-up and Operation
Your WeatherBug Weather Station installation is now complete. Your MCU should be
connected and ready to be turned on (before powering any component, check to ensure that
all connections are correct).
1. Turn on the UPS
2. Turn on the power strip
3. Turn on the MCU
The green power light on the front of the MCU should be lit. The red fault light may also
illuminate slightly. (If it is brightly illuminated, check all power connections and make sure
that the “Reset” circuit breaker on the back of the MCU is pressed in.)
Your Digital Display should immediately indicate current weather conditions, although the
time may need to be set and the barometric pressure calibrated; WeatherBug does this
calibration remotely upon your activation call.
Under normal conditions, your WeatherBug Weather Station should never be turned off. It
is designed to operate 24 hours daily, every day, without operator input or assistance.
If there is a power outage, the MCU's green light will shut off and a yellow light will
illuminate, indicating that the MCU is running on battery power. The internal battery can
run the MCU for up to 16 hours. However, in this state, the MCU will only record data. If
power is out and the UPS has run out of power, there will be no visible operations.
If the battery power becomes insufficient to operate the MCU, it will automatically shut off.
Battery operation is extended by several hours via the UPS. Any time the yellow light comes
on, you should check that your system is still properly installed and connected.
Once power is restored, the MCU automatically restarts and the battery begins recharging.
The length of time that the MCU was shut down determines whether or not the data
collected during battery operation was saved.
The Digital Display(s) should continuously indicate current weather conditions. If
transmission between the remote weather module and MCU is interrupted for more than
one minute, the temperature values on the display will default to -100
°
F.
Immediately following installation, contact WeatherBug Technical Support at 800-624-4205
for calibration (see “
Calibration ” on page 36) and to receive the software key to unlock the
software for use. You will need to be in the process of completing the Homeland Security
Site Data packet (see Weather Station Resource CD) in order to receive the software key.
