MAINTENANCE
This chapter contains instructions for the basic maintenance of Weather
Transmitter WXT510 and contact information for Vaisala Service

Cleaning
To ensure the accuracy of measurement results, Weather Transmitter
WXT510 should be cleaned when it gets contaminated. Leaves and
other such particles should be removed from the precipitation sensor
and the transmitter should be cleaned carefully with a soft, lint-free
cloth moistened with mild detergent.
Replacing the PTU Module

Turn the power off. Loosen the three fixing screws at the sensor
bottom assembly.
2.
Turn out the top of the transmitter.
3.
Release the small white latch (see section A in
Figure 20 on page

) and remove the PTU module. Remove the vacuum bag
protecting the PTU module. Connect the new PTU module.
CAUTION
Be extremely careful when cleaning the wind sensors. The sensors
should not be rubbed nor twisted.
