Preparation Of The Radio Interface - La Crosse Technology WS-2510 Operating Instructions Manual

Preparation of the radio interface

The WS-2510 weather station is connected to the PC by the connecting cable
provided with the WS-2510. The WS-2510 PC radio interface is connected directly
to the PC by the permanently-attached cable.
During the synchronisation and the 6-minutes-initialisation phase, no
communication from the PC to the radio interface may be established. During
this period, the interface searches for all sensor transmitters and, for each sensor
detected, it defines a narrow time window in which the receiver is later activated.
If sporadic disruptions to the radio path cause the synchronisation between
transmitter and radio interface to be lost, the WS-2510 will search for all sensor
transmitters for a period of 6 minutes at 07:30 and the WS-2510 PC interface at
08:00 and 18:00. During this period, newly-added sensors will also be accepted
by the system.
New sensors will thus be automatically integrated into the system.
Please note!
Weather sensors with software version 1.1.
Depending on the type and the period of manufacture, the S 2000 system
sensors are supplied in two software versions (see print/sticker on the sensor
or the packaging). The weather station is always set to version 1.2 after com-
missioning. If you are using version 1.1. sensors, signals from these will not
initially be received. However, as the weather station can add new sensors to
its sensor administration at any time, it is possible, even retrospectively, to
add any sensors to the system with software version 1.1. (see chapter 7: Inter-
face -> Properties -> Initialise).
After a voltage failure (battery change) the system will also carry out with a 6-
minute sensor search.
As a precaution, communication between PC and PC radio interface should not
be established until 25 minutes after the batteries have been inserted.
To simplify the starting-up process, you can bring the PC radio interface into
proximity with the sensors. In this way you can ensure the error-free transmission
of data from the sensors.
The data from the sensors installed are stored, according to a cycle (which can
be set) of between 2 minutes and 1 hour, in the radio interface (see chapter 7:
Interface -> Properties -> Initialise).
