d. Align the battery pack cable in the cable restraints and again clamp
them around the entire cable bundle. If your weather station uses
cable ties, then use the ties supplied with the new battery pack and
capture the cable as it was before you clipped the original cable tie(s).
e. Place the two sections of the weather station main body together,
making sure that none of the wiring bundles will be crushed by the
edges, or by the seven housing screws when the sections are secured.
f. Reinstall and tighten the seven screws that hold the weather station
main body sections together.
3. System Test:
a. Turn on the weather station power switch.
b. Look into the small window on the bottom of the weather station
marked Scan – Receive and confirm that the LED flashes every 10 s.
c. Reinstall the weather station on its mast, and reconnect the ground and
power wires.
6.9.3 Temperature/Relative Humidity Sensor Assembly Replacement
Procedure
This removal and replacement procedure for the temperature/relative humidity
(Temp/RH) sensor assembly (pn 14144) requires the main body of the weather
station to be opened. The person replacing this sensor should observe basic
electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions (described below) to avoid damage to
the weather station electronics inside the main body of the weather station.
Tools Required:
• 1/2-inch wrench
• 5/16-inch wrench
• small wire cutter
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
Time Required: 15 to 30 minutes
1. Sensor Removal:
a. Follow steps provided in Section 6.9.1, Removing the TurfWeather
Station from a Mast or Pole.
b. Bring the weather station to an enclosed location, preferably near the
host computer, and place it on a flat stable surface with an area of at
least three times the size of the weather station base.
c. Invert the weather station main body and rest it on a support that
eliminates any stress on the wind speed or wind direction sensors
and/or the rain gage. A rolled bath towel placed in the center of the
main body, next to the rain gage, will generally suit the purpose.
