Resumen del manual
Most packages will include multiple 1-Wire Weather Sensors, an intermediate cable; a mast mounted junction box and Weather View 32 Software. This documentation will assume that you have purchased the complete package. The 1-Wire Weather Station™ has several unique qualities because it utilizes the Dallas Semiconductor 1-Wire Microlan™. The 1-wire system does not require external power supplies, all power is supplied by the PC RS-232 Port. All 1-Wire Weather Sensors are intelligent digital devices that have calibration information, unique serial numbers and sensor type information stored in the memory of each sensor. Up to 100 sensors (depending on the type sensor and length of the cable) can be attached anywhere into the 1-Wire Microlan (a twisted pair cable). Data is made available via a DDE link. Any Windows® application that can use DDE can obtain this data from the OneSix™ Server. Examples of such applications include Weather View 32, Microsoft® Office products like Word® & Excel®, Wonderware® Intouch, National Instruments® LabView® & LookOut®, Capital Equipment Corp.® TestPoint, general development applications like Microsoft® Visual Basic and Borland® Delphi. This system allows you to run several software packages at the same time, all reading from one set of weather sensors. HARDWARE INSTALLATION We strongly suggest that all the 1-Wire Weather Station Sensors, intermediate cable, junction box and host adapter be connected to your PC, and that your software be installed on your computer and tested prior to the installation of your sensors on the roof, so that you may become familiar with the operation of this equipment. The 1-Wire Weather Station uses multiple sensors to gather weather data. The wind direction and speed sensor, the temperature/humidity pagoda, the solar radiation/leafwettnes sensor, lightning sensor and the rain collector are designed to mount to a television type mast (not provided). The barometric pressure sensor is designed to be inside; plugged into the host adapter. Also plugged into the host adapter will be with the red intermediate cable that goes to the roof sensors. (Note: the pressure sensor must be plugged into the host adapter with the TWI dropping adapter in line or the pressure sensor will not work.) C A U T I O N !! :BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH ANY HIGH POWER LINES DURING INSTALLATION OF THE VARIOUS SENSORS!!! The wind direction and speed sensor is normally mounted on television type antenna masts. For best results the wind · · sensor should be mounted twenty feet above the roof of the building. The higher the installation, the more accurate the readings. The wind direction sensor is calibrated at the factory and should be installed with the wind sensor arm pointed to the North. If you are unable to point the wind sensor arm to the North you can change the wind direction offset in the OneSix server INI file. Plug the wind sensor RJ11 connector into the mast mounted junction box (if present). The TWI Lightning Sensor must be mounted at the top of a grounded mast. The taller the mast and the better the earth grounding the further away lightning can be detected. A detection range of over 200 miles can be achieved depending on the installation. Mount the Lighting Sensor one inch below and 180 degrees away from the wind sensor (refer to figure A) in order to gain the maximum distance between the two sensors. The top of the Lightning sensor must not be below any part of the grounded mast, doing so will shield the sensor from detecting lightning from that direction The outside temperature/humidity pagoda should be mounted about two feet under the wind sensor. Again we suggest a twenty-foot mast for commercial installations to overcome the artificially high readings generated by a hot roof. Plug the temperature/humidity pagoda cable into RJ11 connector The solar/leafwettness sensor must be pointed South and must be free of shadows created by the other sensors (near the top of the mast is normally the best). Take care that the sensor is perfectly level. Run the solar sensor cable to the junction box and plug it in to RJ11 connector. The rain collector is normally mounted on the mast. It should be mounted as low as possible to reduce windage and to limit movement of the mast, which can cause false readings. The collector should be mounted in a manner that allows rain to enter the collector unencumbered by surrounding obstacles. Use a bubble level to make sure that the collector is perfectly level with the ground. Failure to level the collector will cause inaccurate rainfall readings. The rain collector has one cable that must be connected to the junction box. Mount the junction box under the rain collector using the hose clamps that are installed on the box (see figure 1). Remove the front cover of the junction box, inserting the connectors from the sensors and intemediated cable through he hole in the bottom of the junction box and then out of the front of the box.
