g. Carefully remove the Velcro strap from the spread spectrum radio

board but do not pull it from under the main electronics board

(FIGURE 6-11). The board is additionally retained by connector

tension at two connectors below the board. Grasp the edges of the

spread spectrum radio board with your free hand and carefully pull it

off of the main electronics board.

h. Your replacement spread spectrum radio was shipped in a special

ESD protective bag. Remove the replacement radio from this bag and

put the radio you removed into the same ESD bag.

2. Spread Spectrum Radio Replacement:

a. The replacement radio will have the main carrier frequency 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

indicated on the spread spectrum radio you removed before

proceeding further. If it is not, and you are not intentionally changing

the radio frequencies in both the weather station and the radio base

station (they must be the same frequency), then contact Campbell

Scientific immediately.

b. Once the radio frequency has been verified, orient the spread spectrum

radio board so that the main electronics board connectors will mate

with the proper pins on the bottom of the radio board. Press the

spread spectrum radio board into its mating connectors until it is

firmly seated, and then tightly attach the Velcro board retaining strap.

c. 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 two sections are

secured with screws.
