Plug one end of the short black cable (has a telephone style connection on
each end) into the Snap-In
tm
Weather Module and the other end into the outer jack
on top of the Eliminator 2000 (NOT THE CENTER JACK). Telephone cables that
you may have at home may fit in this jack but will not work!
Turn on the Eliminator 2000. Use the up/down arrow keys to select
Race/Wx Logging and depress the "STAGE/Enter" Key. The Eliminator will
indicate that it is trying to find the weather module and this time it will respond with
a "Calibration Mismatch". This indicates that the weather module is there, but
there are no calibration values that match the Snap-In
tm
Weather Module.
Depress the STAGE/Enter Key to get to the MAIN Weather Menu (4
numbered options). Depress "3" and then "4" to bring up the calibration screen.
Depress "2" to view the current calibration which should be a default (start up)
calibration. The serial number of the weather module will appear on the bottom
line. Depress
new calibration values of your Snap-In
tm
Weather Module.
The calibration information is located on the side of your Snap-In
tm
Weather
Module. There are 4 values that you must enter when prompted by the Eliminator
2000. A default value will appear for each setting. Make sure that you enter each
number into your Eliminator 2000 carefully. You can use the "left /right" arrow
keys to edit as well as the "up arrow" key to zero out the entry. After you verify a
correct entry, depress the "STAGE/Enter" Key to save the information. After you
have entered all 4 numbers, depress the "2" key to verify that you have entered all
of the information correctly.
Verify Operation
Depress the "1" key until you back completely out of the weather program or
turn the Eliminator 2000 "OFF" and then back "ON". Select the "Race/Wx
Logging" Menu item and depress "STAGE/Enter". This time the Snap-In
tm
Weather Module should be detected and you will immediately be prompted to
enter the date and time. This means that the weather station is operating correctly
and is recognized by the Eliminator 2000.
Use the Snap-In
tm
Weather Module Instruction manual to use and
understand the features and power of this Weather Station. Use the Windows
software to get all of the power out of your weather station so that you can
optimize the performance of your race vehicle in just about any weather condition.
