2. Precautions
l
READ AND UNDERSTAND the
(p. iii) section at the front of this manual.
l
DANGER: If any part of the weather station comes in contact with power lines, you could
be killed. Contact local utilities for the location of buried utility lines before digging or
driving ground rods.
l
Avoid dangerous electrical accidents when using the AC power option by locating the
transformer remotely and burying a low voltage line to the station. The low voltage will
carry up to 152 m (500 ft) on an 18 AWG power cable.
l
Carefully handle the T107 components during transport, installation, and cleaning.
l
Leave the 034B wind vane in the protective cardboard sleeve until it’s ready to be installed.
l
Ensure to remove the yellow cap from the RH and temperature sensor, the red or green cap
from the pyranometer, and the rubber band from the tipping bucket mechanism. Save the
caps for shipping or storing the sensors.
l
When connecting cables to the enclosure panel, ensure that each plug is completely
seated on the connector and the locking ring is turned a quarter revolution clockwise.
Failure to seat the plug completely could cause corrosion and water damage to both the
enclosure and the cable.
l
