USB Connection Installation

Serial Port Hardware Installation

A serial port connection can be installed so that WeatherLink uses a direct,

local connection between the computer and console, or so that WeatherLink

uses a modem connection to a remote weather station. Installation for each

connection type differs, and is explained separately below.

Local Connection Installation

1. Find the weather station console that will receive the WeatherLink serial

connection.

2. For consoles only: Enter the console’s Setup Mode by pressing and hold-

ing DONE, then pressing the down arrow (-) key. Entering Setup Mode

ensures that the station is not writing any data and saves current daily

weather information to memory.

3. Remove the battery cover and remove the batteries and AC-power adapter,

if present.

Note: Failure to remove power to the console or Weather Envoy before installing the data log-

ger may cause damage to the data logger or console. Plugging or unplugging the data

logger while power is applied can lock up or damage the logger.

4. Carefully insert the data logger with serial connector into the receptacle

marked EXPANSION inside the battery compartment.
