REMOTE CONNECTION FOR MONITOR, WIZARD AND PERCEPTION

Hardware Requirements

5. Connect the short data logger cable to the cable jack marked “WeatherLink”

on the bottom of your weather station console.

6. Restore power to the console by reattaching the power adapter and battery

backup.

The console should beep three times. The third beep, which should occur

within 30 seconds, indicates that the data logger is operating correctly.

7. Place the data logger inside the mounting base.

8. Reattach the mounting base to the weather station.

As you do so, guide all the cables through the slots on the mounting base.

9. Locate a free serial port on the back of your computer and connect the black

DB9 adapter to the port.

10. Connect the long data logger cable to the DB9 adapter connector.

The cable connecting the data logger to the computer is 8’ (2.4 m) long. If you

need to place the station console more than 8’ from the computer, use a 40’ (12

m) standard 4-conductor extension cable. Do not attempt to use more than 40’

of extension cable, or the data logger may have difficulty communicating with

the computer.

Remote Connection for Monitor,

Wizard and Perception

You can connect your computer to a remote weather station using a modem. This

involves using the data logger to connect the weather station console to a modem

at the remote site. Your computer can then use a modem to communicate to the

remote weather station via a phone line.

At Your Computer:

1. If you don’t have a modem, install and set up an internal or external modem

according to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

2. Connect the modem to the phone line.
