The 2000
-
Series weather station does not have a button or
switch for powering up and down. Instead, the device is opera-
tional whenever the batteries are installed. The stations are
shipped with default logging settings that can be modified with
SpecWare software or with the station
’
s keypad. Once the station
is configured, it will retain those settings even after the battery is
removed or replaced
.
Stations sold after January 2012 include a built in clock with an
independent battery. These stations are set to USA Central time,
and need to be reset for other locations. The clock will continue
to keep time when the AA batteries are removed.
One notable feature of the WatchDog 2000
-
Series weather sta-
tions is that they do not need to be re
-
launched after being down-
loaded. This allows greater flexibility for stations that are ac-
cessed by multiple users. Although, the station stores data on a
pre
-
set interval, the sensor readings displayed on the LCD are
refreshed every 20 seconds.
