Now it’s time to plug the terminal strips into the indicator. Note that there is a plug already installed
in the space for the optional ice-free wind direction sensor, don’t remove this plug. To plug in a
terminal, position it with the screw heads oriented toward the middle of the indicator and press into
place firmly. The connectors will snap into place when inserted correctly. Go ahead and plug the
terminals into the appropriate positions on the indicator (see diagram) The AC adapter connects to
the position labeled 24Vdc, do not plug the AC adapter into a 110VAC outlet yet.
Before we power up the instrument you need to understand the boot sequence.
When Summit is powered up it first lights up all the LED’s for 3 seconds.
Next Summit turns off all the LED’s for 2 seconds.
During this time Summit is reading the jumper settings and doing it’s POST (Power On Self Test).
The POST codes are now shown on the speed and temperature digits for 6 seconds.
The wind speed 10's digit shows whether the instrument is in master or remote mode, 0 = Remote
and 1 = Master.
The wind speed 1's digit shows the type of remote, if the instrument is a remote, 0 = Normal remote,
1 = High remote, 2 = Low remote, 4 = Chill remote.
The temperature 100's digit shows the wind sensor type, 0 = Ice Free, 1 = Standard.
The temperature 10's digit indicates the wind speed units of measurement, 7 = m/s, E = km/h, L =
Knots, P = MPH and, Blank = Beaufort.
The temperature 1's digit shows the temperature units of measurement, 0 = °F, 1 = °C.
If the Summit is a high or, low remote, the clock setting mode is started now. The clock allows
Summit to reset the memories at midnight so, you need to set the clock to the current time. In clock
setting mode the wind speed digits show the hours and the temperature digits show the minutes.
When clock setting mode starts none of the digits are flashing. If the select button is not pressed
within 10 seconds then clock setting mode is ended and the boot process continues. If the select
button is pressed within 10 seconds then the hours digits will start flashing to indicate that you can
now set the hours. Pressing and releasing the set button on the back of the instrument will advance
the hours by one (note Summit always uses a 24 hour clock, midnight = 00:00). When you have the
hours set, press the select button, the hours will stop flashing and the minutes will start flashing to
indicate that you can now set the minutes. When you finish setting the minutes with the set button,
press the select button again. Now there are no digits flashing, if you do nothing then in 10 seconds
the clock setting mode will be ended and the boot process continues. If you press the select button
again the hours digits will start flashing and you can set the hours again. Note: you only need to set
the clock on the first high/low remote. All other high/low remotes will automatically synchronize to
the time set on the first high/low remote.
Finally Summit starts a ten second countdown for start of normal operation. The wind speed digits
count from 0 to 9 and, the temperature digits will show 32, during this period.
Now plug the AC adapter into a 110VAC outlet. Check the POST codes to make sure you have
installed all jumpers correctly. Once the instrument has completed the boot sequence, the North,
south, East and, West LED’s will turn on and the number displays will shows dashes. Whenever a
Summit remote has not received at least ten seconds worth of valid data from a Summit master the
display will show this pattern. If there is a functioning master connected to the data link cable then
the remote will start showing the readings in about ten seconds. This completes the testing, unplug
the AC adapter from the 110VAC outlet and, disconnect the wires from the sensors and terminal
connectors.
