TurfWeather Weather Station
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.
c. Invert the weather station main body and rest it on a support that
eliminates any stress on the wind speed or wind direction sensors
and/or the rain gage. A rolled bath towel placed in the center of the
main body, next to the rain gage, will generally suit the purpose.
d. 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.
e. 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.
k. Rest the base section next to the electronics section and locate the
spread spectrum radio module within the electronics section. It is a
green and white rectangular electronics board positioned on top of the
weather station main electronics board. It has the word MaxStream
on its top surface. It is retained on the main electronics board by a
blue Velcro strap (FIGURE 6-10).

f. Locate the screws on the corners of the main electronics board and
touch one finger to one of the screws. Touching the screw will
ground any electrostatic energy difference between you and the
weather station main electronics board. Do not be concerned as this
will not shock you or create a spark.
