FIGURE 4-6. Radio connections. The serial cable connects to the
RS-232 port and the AC adapter connects to the Power port.
3. Plug the ac adapter for the RF401-series radio into a grounded ac wall
outlet.
4. Connect the ac adapter’s barrel connector to the Power connector on the
RF401-series radio (FIGURE 4-6). The red TX LED should illuminate.
For some RF401-series radios, the power connector is labeled DC
PWR.
5. Start the Campbell Scientific PC200W software. Click on Connect. Click
on the Monitor Data tab to confirm communication.
6. Monitor the sensor displays. After a few minutes, numeric values should
appear if the weather station and radio are communicating. Also the LEDs
on the RF401-series radio will blink.
If the radio is not communicating properly, you may be
experiencing interference from nearby equipment such as wireless
phones, other spread spectrum radios, or another TurfWeather
weather station. Changing some settings on your radio and
weather station should rectify this situation. Contact your local
distributor for assistance.
7. If your radio is working properly, close the Campbell Scientific PC200W
software and turn the key to the off position. You are now ready to install
your weather station at the site.
