WeatherLink
®
for Alarm Output
Addendum
Introduction
This Streaming Data Logger is designed to provide an electrical interface
between a Vantage Pro™ or Vantage Pro2™ weather station console or
Weather Envoy™ and an electrical device. You may set a series of
thresholds for various parameters that will trigger if any of them are met (OR
condition), all of them are met (AND condition), one and only one is met
(XOR condition). You may also test whether a parameter is within (between
condition) or outside of (not between condition) a certain range, or changing
at a certain rate (trending), or how far apart (or close) two like parameters are
from each other. Finally, you may also test various parameters to see if they
are reporting a valid number. This can be used to signal a bad data
connection or malfunctioning sensor.
This product also contains the functionality of the WeatherLink for Vantage
Pro Serial version. Please consult the WeatherLink for Vantage Pro Getting
Started Guide and on-line Help files for information on the use of the
WeatherLink program (including its hardware requirements and typical
installation), package contents, and optional accessories for this product.
If you plan to install this product in a Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 console,
use the notch in the battery door located adjacent to where the PC connector
protrudes and above the AC power connector to bring out the Connector
Block wire.
If you plan to install this product in a Weather Envoy, it is recommended that
you knock out the left-most tab with the Weather Envoy’s PC connector
facing you and loop the Connector Block wire around the datalogger
connector to the Weather Envoy and bring it out where this tab was removed.
