Thank you for purchasing a WatchDog 2000 Series Weather Sta-
tion. The stations are completely weatherproof and feature 12
-
bit
resolution for higher accuracy. The stations can be accessed at
different times by multiple users because the data is not cleared
from memory following a download. The 2000
-
Series weather
stations can communicate via direct
-
wire, radio, WiFi, or tele-
phone connections.
Current weather conditions, historical data, and computed pa-
rameters are easily viewed on the station
’
s LCD screen. The sta-
tion LCD can also be programmed to display a variety of plant
disease infection potentials. The arrow keys can be used to pro-
gram the station
’
s logging interval and assign sensors to the ex-
ternal sensor ports. You can also scroll through the sensor
readings, Degree Day/Chill Hour calculations and set your tem-
perature ranges.
General overview
Model 2800 Stations
The model 2800 station is equipped with 9 external sensor ports.
It can be connected to any WatchDog external sensor. This sta-
tion is unique in that it has no internal sensors. It is not possible
to collect data for air temperature, relative humidity, and wind
speed/direction. Therefore, the station cannot calculate Growing
Degree Days, Chill Hours, Wind Chill, Dewpoint, Evapotranspira-
tion or any Disease Models.
Although a rain collector is not included as a standard sensor, it
can be added as an optional external sensor.
