WeatherHawk Setup Procedure
1.
Remove the top foam packing from the WeatherHawk box and
verify you have all ordered equipment; then unpack equipment.
a. Use the lift straps to remove the WeatherHawk
station, since removing the station by lifting on the
sensors may damage the sensors (see Figure 1).
b. Avoid resting the WeatherHawk on the wind speed
and wind direction sensors.
c. Report missing or damaged equipment to
WeatherHawk Customer Service before installing
your system.
2.
Install your application software on your computer.
3.
Connect the serial cable male connector to the WeatherHawk RS-232 port and the serial cable female
connector to a computer serial port (Figure 2).
a. If you are using a serial connection, ensure the serial port is not already assigned to an open program.
b. If you’re connecting the cable to a USB port, a serial-to-USB converter cable is required and
optionally available from WeatherHawk (P/N 16878, USB-AD).
4.
Turn the key to the on position (Figure 3), and observe a red flashing light through the small rectangular
Scan/Receive window on the underside of the WeatherHawk.
