b. Orient the main electronics board so that the connector will mate with
the connector on the sensor connector board. Press the two
connectors together until they are firmly seated.
c. If your weather station is wireless, verify that the Velcro strap is
tightly secured around the radio module.
d. Replace and tighten the four Phillips head screws that attach the main

e. Place the two sections of the weather station main body together,
making sure that none of the wiring bundles will be crushed by the
edges or by the seven housing screws when the two sections are
secured with screws.
f. Reinstall and tighten the seven screws that hold the weather station
main body sections together.
3. System test:
a. Connect the weather station to the host computer using the short
RS-232 test cable (if a wired system) and turn on the weather station
power switch; or initiate communications if your weather station is
wireless.
b. Verify that the sensors are reporting values.
c. Reinstall the weather station on its mast, and reconnect the ground and
power wires.
