TurfWeather Weather Station
1. Sensor Removal:
a. Follow steps provided in Section 6.9.1, Removing the TurfWeather
Station from a Mast or Pole.
b. Bring the weather station to an enclosed location, preferably near the
host computer, and place it on a flat stable surface with an area of at
least three times the size of the weather station base.
FIGURE 6-7. Wind direction sensor with boot down and exposing wires
c. Identify the wind direction sensor as the black vane (arrow shaped)
sensor located on the top, rear of the weather station main body.
Do not twist or place side pressure on either the wind speed
or wind direction sensors at any time during this sensor
removal/replacement process as it may cause them to break
off of the weather station main body.
d. Just below the sensor moveable vane, there is a flexible “boot” that
will peel down from the top. Without using tools, peel the boot down,
rolling the edge back upon itself and the sensor mounting post. Take
care not to place side pressure on the sensor itself. This will expose
three wires connected to three separate threaded terminal studs, held
tight by 1/4-inch nuts (FIGURE 6-7).
e. Using the 1/4-inch wrench, loosen the nuts and remove the wires,
taking care to note which wires go on which threaded terminal studs.
f. Locate the single Phillips head screw on the side of the sensor body.
Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw.
