At Your Weather Station Console:
3. Make a note of the barometric pressure, total rainfall, and (if applicable)
calibration numbers.
You must remove power from the weather station to install the WeatherLink
data logger, which will cause these values to be erased. Use WeatherLink to
reenter these values after restoring power to the station.
4. Place the external modem in a location where it can connect to both the data
logger and the phone jack. Do not turn the modem on at this time.
5. Remove the mounting base from the weather station.
6. Remove all power from the weather station by removing the power adapter
and battery backup.
Failure to remove power before installing the data logger may cause damage
to the data logger and/or station.
Typical Remote Installation for Original Weather Stations
7. A small switch on the data logger near the cables controls the baud rate. The
default setting is 2400 baud. If you need to run at 1200 baud, change the set-
ting before connecting the data logger to the console.
8. Connect the short data logger cable to the cable jack marked "WeatherLink"
on the bottom of your weather station console.
9. Connect the blue Telephone Modem Adapter to the external modem.
The Telephone Modem Adapter (#7870) is required to use the data logger with
a modem. A standard DB25 connector with a gender changer will not work.
The blue Telephone Modem Adapter (#6533) supplied for Vantage Pro stations
will not work either.
10. Connect the long data logger cable to the Telephone Modem Adapter.
11. Turn the modem on.
