1 Caution 1.1 Intended Use REINHARDT-Weather stations and sensors are exclusively built for stationary operation on a fixed 1" pipe for automatically collecting climatic parameters outside. Any use other than described above may cause damage of the product or or other danger.
NOTE Very Important ! The wind vanes of the MWS 9-5 weather station are very sensitive sensory equipment which can easily be destroyed by mechanical influence. Therefore do keep the packing of your weather station. Whenever you want to ship your weather station later, this packing guarantees that the weather station is not damaged in transport !! Time and again we have noticed that the units are damaged by wrong packing.
MWS 9-5 Manual 2.1.2 Overvoltage protection The MWS 9-5 contains an integrated overvoltage protection (Suppressordiods) at it's supply- and data wires. The power linie is protected by a SMCJ26CA-diode. This diode breaks through at voltages above 31VDC and is able to carry up to 1500W for a few milli seconds.
GmbH\Wetter\... key in the registry which is only created when running and is not deleted when the software is de-installed. Please note the instructions given on the CD for mounting the MWS 9-5. Then the weather station can be used 20 seconds after it is plugged in.
If they differ more than 10 minutes, the pro grams asks if the MWS 9-5-clock is to be set. Needless to say, the clock of the connected PC must give the correct time, as MWS 9-5 is set to the PC-clock.
-99999 that data are missing and creates a gap in the graphical displays. You may also set MWS 9-5 in such a way that it writes into the datalogger in the set memory in- terval as soon as operating voltage is applied. Then the datalogger contains data with the wrong time and cannot be read out by the delivered software.
With Version 1.2 the potentiometer will be replaced by a precision magnetical encoder without dead angle in the north direction.

If they need higher currents, the sensors must have an external power supply and its ground has to be connected to the MWS 9-5-ground (Pin 1 of the connector socket). You can call for adjustment instructions of the additional inputs at any time.

After you have determined the necessary adjustment values and entered them in the adjustment file, you can transmit the changed file to MWS 9-5 as follows: Start program WS_CFG.EXE, set the interface parameters and select the name of your adjustment file.

Separated by comma, the single measured values with sensor identification come in the following order:...
MWS 9-5 Manual 3.8 System requirements 3.8.1 System requirements (16bit-Versions) The MWS 9-5-software needs a computer with at least 486 processor and 4MB RAM (2MB of which must be free (XMS)). Runs with WIN3x. You need a free COM-Port (COM1 or COM2, with Windows-versions COM3 or COM4 as well).

To enable the weather station, you need to transmit a ? (ASCII 63) to the weather station. Only then the weather station begins to send data. When using the enclosed REINHARDT software this will be performed automatically! Otherways you may use the tool ENA422.EXE which allows to send a string to the weather sta- tion over the COM-port.
It takes about 20sec (max.) until the display receives data from the weather station and displays them. If a MWS 9-5 weather station is connected to your display, time and date will be adopted from MWS 9-5.
Baud rate by default is 4800 BAUD and the ma x imum display interval is about ca 30 sec. erstellt am 30.05.2012 von DO MWS 9-5e.p65 Page 26 REINHARDT System- und Messelectronic GmbH Fax: 08196/7005 and 1414 email: wetter@reinhardt-testsystem.de Web: www.reinhardt-wetterstationen.de...

In case you want to ship your MWS 9-5, you must use the original packing. This packing was especially designed for MWS 9-5. It is the best protection against damage or destruction during transport. In this packing it will not even be damaged if it falls from 1 m height onto a stone floor.
