TurfWeather Weather Station
f. Remove the seven Phillips head screws on the base of the main body
that hold the base section to the electronics enclosure section. Do not
remove the Phillips head screws that connect the mast bracket to the
weather station base. Notice that the three screws along the end with
the wind sensors are shorter than the remaining four screws.
g. Gently separate the electronics enclosure and base sections of the
weather station main body, taking care not to place any stress on the
wires that connect the two sections.
h. Rest the base section next to the electronics section and locate the
battery pack within the electronics section. It is a gray and black
rectangular component at the front of the electronics section (FIGURE
6-1). It is retained by a white metal bracket that is held in place with
two Phillips head screws.
i. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the
battery pack bracket into the electronics section, and remove the
bracket.
j. Lift the battery pack from the electronics section and rest it next to the
weather station.
k. Locate the two wires that come from solar radiation sensor and follow
them to their end connector on the weather station main electronics
board. Cut or disconnect any cable ties along the length of the wires.
l. Locate the screws on the corners of the main electronics board (largest
green electronics board) and touch one finger to one of the screws on
a corner of the board, then carefully disconnect the black solar
radiation cable connector.
Touching a screw will ground any electrostatic energy difference
between you and the main electronics board. Do not be concerned,
as this will not shock you or create a spark.
m. Remove the solar radiation sensor by gently pulling it off its mounting
post as you feed the wires through the hole in the top of the weather
station module.
2. Solar Radiation Sensor Replacement:
a. Insert the wire cable from the new solar radiation sensor into the
weather station electronics module through the mounting post hole
where the previous solar radiation sensor was located.
b. Again touch a finger to a screw on a corner of the main electronics
board and then carefully reconnect the black solar radiation sensor
connector.
Touching a screw will ground any electrostatic energy difference
between you and the main electronics board. Do not be concerned,
as this will not shock you or create a spark.
