Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com Congratulations on your purchase of the Global Water Weather Sensor. This instrument has been quality tested and approved for providing accurate and reliable measurements. We are confident that you will find the sensor to be a valuable asset for your application.
Your Weather sensor was carefully inspected and certified by our Quality Assurance Team before shipping. If any damage has occurred during shipping, please notify Global Water Instrumentation, Inc. and file a claim with the carrier involved. Use the checklist to ensure that you have received everything needed to operate the IF200.
You may need to remove and reinstall it in the future, so plan ahead! c. All Global Water Weather sensors produce a 4-20 mA output signal. 4-20 mA is an industrial standard signal for process control monitoring. Most PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller), RTUs (Remote Telemetry Unit), and data acquisition systems accept this signal directly.
