SECTION 1. WEATHER STATION DESCRIPTION
The 012 Weather Station is designed to reduce the cost and logistics of routine climatological
monitoring. Installation is simplified through a modular design and prewired sensors. This manual
covers installation, sensor options, power supply options, programming, maintenance, and trouble
shooting.
1.1 STANDARD SENSORS
Sensors with preassigned channels include:
•
wind speed
•
wind direction
•
temperature
•
relative humidity
•
solar radiation
•
rainfall
•
soil temperature
•
moisture detection
Section 3 explains the channel assignments
and how to program the weather station.
1.2 DATA RETRIEVAL OPTIONS
Telecommunication options include phone,
short haul, and radio. Different options require
different wiring connections in the base of the
weather station. Section 2 covers various
modem options.
When telecommunications are not required,
storage modules (SM192, SM716) may be used
for on-site data retrieval.
1.3 POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS
The base of the weather station is designed to
fit a user supplied 12 VDC deep cycle marine
battery. Power cables supplied with the station
fit 3/8" diameter battery posts. The battery may
be periodically replaced with a freshly charged
one, or it may be charged in place with either
the PS12 charging regulator and 110 VAC to 16
VAC transformer, or the MSX10R solar panel.
CSI offers a 7 Amp-hour rechargeable battery
which should be continuously charged due to its
small capacity.
