Basic Weather Station BWS-200
1. Introduction
Thank you for buying a Campbell Scientific Basic Weather Station. We
recommend that you begin by reading this Installation Manual carefully before
attempting to assemble, set-up and use the weather station, as it contains important
information about siting, assembly and maintenance.
This manual also explains how to set up and connect both the standard and
optional components of the Basic Weather Station. Most components are supplied
as separate units for you to mount in any appropriate location. A simple low-cost
mast, designed to be mounted into a concrete filled hole, is available as an optional
extra.
The manual also includes introductory information about setting up
communications with your weather station. Using this information you should be
able to start making measurements straight away.
Separate manuals are provided for the datalogger, sensors and any optional
peripherals which give additional technical information on these devices.
