Page 7: Introduction
Do not perform the calibration if there is a strong wind that could blow debris into the sensing volume of the PWS. The PWC100 is not suitable for long term outdoor use and is only designed to be exposed for the duration of the calibration test. Long term exposure to... -
Page 8: Initial Configuration Of The Pws100 For Use Of The Calibrator
PWC100 Present Weather Sensor Calibrator Care must be taken not to drop or scratch either the velocity or visibility units as this may cause errors that could result in tests failing when they shouldn’t. 2.2 Initial Configuration of the PWS100 for use of the Calibrator... -
Page 9: Installing And Connecting Up The Calibrator
Remove the existing plastic blanking screws from their positions on the PWS center block. • Fix the PWC100 visibility calibrator unit to the center position on the PWS using two of the metal countersunk fixing screws provided. (Connector for the calibrator) FIGURE 3-1. -
Page 10: Starting The Tests
PWC100 Present Weather Sensor Calibrator 3.2 Starting the Tests All PWC100 tests can be performed without the need to access the PWS with a PC. Only once the tests are finished and if changes to the calibration constants are needed, will a PC be required to change the system configuration. - Page 11 PWC100 Present Weather Sensor Calibrator Step 2: Performing the visibility maximum limit check • Remove the PWC100 visibility calibration disk and place it back into its box. • Place blanking plug into upper sensor head as shown in diagram above.
- Page 12 Step 3: Position 1: Center position Attaching the velocity calibration unit • Fix the PWC100 velocity calibrator unit to the center position on the PWS using two of the countersunk fixing screws provided • Check that the velocity calibrator is located correctly and securely.
- Page 13 PWC100 Present Weather Sensor Calibrator Step 4: Position 2: Left • Move the calibrator into the left hand position by unscrewing the calibrator mounting screws slightly and sliding the calibrator fully to the left. Then retighten the screws once in position.
- Page 14 This should remove any chance that the calibrator or another external factor was the cause. If the PWC100 still indicates a problem, please contact Campbell Scientific for further advice.
- Page 15 PWC100 Present Weather Sensor Calibrator Step 6: Final stage • Remember to reinstall the plastic blanking screws back into the PWS100 before leaving the site. • If a CS215-PWS or other piece of equipment was unplugged in order to perform the tests, then ensure it is reconnected.

Page 16: Cleaning Guide
If the disk is cracked or distorted in any way, the tests should not be performed as this may cause an incorrect result or even damage to the calibration unit. Campbell Scientific should be contacted for advice about any damage that may have occurred to the disk. -
Page 17: Electrical Parameters
The PWC100 is protected against external electrostatic discharges from user contact but not lightning related surges caused by nearby strikes. Therefore, do not leave the PWC100 connected to the PWS100 for prolonged periods in field conditions. - Page 18 PWC100 Present Weather Sensor Calibrator...
