Manual MWS 55 / MWS 88 / MWS 10 and Sensors 55
3.2.2 Special version with SuperCap instead of Lithium cell -SCO
For the Lithium cell discharges within 9 months when the MWS 55V is not used (storage without
power supply) we offer a special version with SuperCap (5F) instead of the Lithium cell. This
SuperCap is fully charged within 5 hours after power is applied to the MWS 55V and then is able
to buffer the internal clock of MWS 55V up to 5 days without power applied to the MWS 55V.
If the MWS 55V was without power for more than 5 days, the SuperCap has discharged
and the clock of MWS 55V needs to be set after applying power for proper data storage
into the logger (either manually or with the weather32 software).
3.2.3 Option SuperCap additional to Lithium cell -SC
There is an option with additionally SuperCap parallel to the Lithium cell. Here the SuperCap
is used to extend the lifetime of the Lithium cell when the MWS 55V is used only sometimes and
is not used at the weekends for example.
3.3 Maintenance
Because of its elaborated sensors, MWS 55 needs no maintenance.
There are wear parts like the ball bearings and the fan which have to be replaced from time to time.
These parts have got a life time of app. 5-6 years under normal environment conditions.
Extreme conditions (operation directly at the sea, high mountin regions, extreme pollution, i.e.)
may cause very reduced life time of these parts.
MWS 55 weather station has been developed for stationary use under normal climatic conditions
(temperate zone). Use under extreme conditions such as e.g. on board of a ship, mobile use on a
measuring vehicle etc. has not been tested. It is therefore not recommended to set up the weather
station where it is exposed to salt or salt water ( e.g. right at the coast etc.).
It can be used on a measuring car under certain conditions although the measured values of the
wind sensors cannot be reproduced.
Our warranty ends if there is any intervention into hardware or software from your side.
3.3.1 Cleaning the rain sensor
To clean the rain sensor remove dirt (leafs, bird dropping, i.e.) from the funnel.
Make sure that the droplet outlet in the center of the funnel cover is not blocked!
For cleaning the seesaw perform as shown in the following images.
