Hardware Requirements

2. Remove the battery cover from the console back and remove all power by

removing the batteries and AC-power adapter, if present.

Failure to remove power to the console before installing the data logger may

cause damage to the data logger or console.

3. Carefully insert the data logger into the large receptacle jack marked

EXPANSION inside the battery compartment

Guide the data logger cable through the square slot below the receptacle.

CAUTION: Make sure that whenever you connect or disconnect the logger from the

console that the console is NOT powered up. Plugging or unplugging the

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

4. Restore power to the weather station by reinstalling the batteries and reat-

taching the power adapter, if present.

The weather station should beep three times; each beep should occur within

about one second of the others.

5. Replace the battery cover, ensuring that the data logger cable exits through

the square slot.

6. Locate a free serial port on the back of your computer and connect the blue

DB9 to the port.

7. Insert the cable plug at the end of the short cable coming from the data log-

ger into the receptacle on the end of the 8’ cable. Then insert the cable plug

on the end of the 8’ cable into the DB9 adapter.

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.
