  • Page 5: Caution

    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.
  • Page 6: Setting Up The Mws 9-5 Weather Station

    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.
  • Page 7: Overvoltage Protection

    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.

    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.

    It is therefore not recommended to set up the MWS 9-5 weather station where it is exposed to salt or salt water ( e.g. directly at the coast etc.).

    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.

  • Page 34: Packing Mws 9-5 Properly

    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.
