SECTION 4: OPERATION

The Weather Display console can communicate over Serial RS-232 and
Ethernet TCP/IP.
The Weather Display communicates directly with the weather station via a
serial RS-232 connection or through the MicroServer via an Ethernet
connection.

RS-232 Interface

Connect the Weather Display to the weather station using the RS-232
cable, RS-485 cable/converter, or the wireless transceivers.
The weather station should be installed with all the sensors connected and
power applied. Please refer to the Weather Station user manual for more
information about installation.
Apply power to the Weather Display. Be sure to use the power supply
provided with the unit.
The Weather Display will boot up and load the Main monitoring screen.
First time power up:
1. The screen will not display any measurements until it receives the
first transmission from the weather station. This process can take
up to 25 seconds.
2. In the Configure screen select Date/Time. Using the up and down
arrow buttons, change the date and time to match your local
settings.
3. In the Configure/Units screen select the desired units.

Ethernet Interface

2. In the Configure screen, enter the IP address of the MicroServer.

3. In the Configure/Network screen change the network settings (if
needed) to match your network configuration. The IP address for
the Weather Display must be unique. Apply changes when done.
