TurfWeather Weather Station

FIGURE 6-9. Main electronics board inside TurfWeather station

f. Rest the base section next to the electronics section and locate the

main electronics board within the electronics section (FIGURE 6-9).

It is the largest green rectangular electronics board in the weather

station electronics section.

g. Locate the screws at the corners of the main electronics board and

touch one finger to one of the screws. Touching the screw will

ground any electrostatic energy difference between you and the

weather station main electronics board. Do not be concerned, as this

will not shock you or create a spark.

h. Remove the four Phillips head screws that attach the main electronics

board to the weather station electronics section.

i. Notice the gray plastic connector on one end of the main electronics

board. This connects the board to the adjacent sensor connector

board. Grasp both the main electronics board and the sensor

connector board near the connector and gently pull them apart at the

mating connector. You may need to use a slight side-to-side motion

to separate the connector.

j. If you received a replacement main electronics board, it was shipped

in a special ESD protective bag. Remove the replacement main

electronics board from this bag and put the board you removed from

your weather station into the same ESD bag.

2. Main Electronics Board Replacement:

a. If your weather station is wireless, the replacement main electronics

will have a spread spectrum radio board attached to it with a blue

Velcro strap. The main carrier frequency for the radio board is printed

on the white label with the word MaxStream. It will be either 900

MHz or 2.4 GHz. Verify that the carrier frequency is the same as that
