5.4.1 General Description, GOES Transmitter (part #TX312) The High Data Rate GOES transmitter (part #TX312) shown in Figure 5.4-1 supports one-way communication, via satellite, from a Campbell Scientific datalogger to a ground receiving station. Satellite telemetry offers a convenient communication alternative for field stations where phone systems or RF systems are impractical or rendered unreliable after a tragedy to the local infrastructure. -
Page 21: Goes Transmitter
RAWS-P Remote Automated Weather Station The TX312 transmitter has two siting requirements for proper operation. The GOES antenna must have a clear view of the spacecraft. The GOES antenna is directional and should be aimed at the spacecraft. Both elevation and azimuth are unique to the location of the planet and must be set. -
Page 22: Wiring, Goes Transmitter (Part #Tx312)
Check the SC12 cable connection between the CR1000 wiring panel and the TX312. Press the TX312 diagnostic button to query the state of the transmitter. If problems persist, try a substitute.
