Standard Mounting without Mounting Plate Mount the housing by fastening the barometer to the wall with 4 screws, for example M6 not provided.

Figure 11 Dimensions of Metal Mounting Plate mm. Panel Mounting Frame To enable a neat and dirt-free embedded installation of the transmitter, a panel mounting frame is available as an option Vaisala order code: To use the panel mounting frame: 1. Cut the hole in the panel. Grounding the Cables To ensure the best possible EMC performance, you must ground the screen of the electrical cable as shown in Figure 16 below and in the instructions below that. Cut back screen braiding or screen foil to dimension X see Figure 16 above.

Grounding the Barometer Housing If you need to ground the barometer housing, the grounding connector is found inside the housing. Alternate Wiring Systems There are four ways of powering the barometer: using basic wiring, the D-9 connector, the M connector, or the optional external ACadapter. Open the barometer cover by taking out the four cover screws.

Insert the power supply wires and signal wires through the cable bushing in the bottom of the barometer; see the grounding instructions in the previous sections. Turn on the power. The indicator led on the cover is lit continuously during normal operation. Close the cover and replace the cover screws.

The barometer is ready for use. Disconnect the power and open the barometer cover. Remove the protective plug from the cable gland and thread the wires. If the power supply module is installed in the factory, continue with the step 5.

To attach the module fasten the power module to the bottom of the housing with four screws. See the position of the power supply module in Figure 15 on page Connect the AC mains voltage wires to the power supply module terminals marked with N and L. Attach the grounding wire to the grounding terminal on the right-hand side of the barometer.

Connect the power. The LED on the cover of the barometer is lit continuously during normal operation. Only one of the switches The module contains two configurable relays.

If the relay-module is installed in the factory, continue with step 5. To attach the module, first place a protective plate to the bottom of the housing at module slot 3, then fasten the relay module to the top of the plate with four screws. See the position in Figure 2, on page When the mains power is in use attach the grounding wire to the grounding terminal.

Take out the protective plug from the cable gland and thread the relay wires. See section Selecting the Activation State of the Relay on page Connect the power and close the cover.

This section describes how to install the drivers for vNet Devices to connect Vaisala Veriteq Loggers to the network using an Ethernet connection. If you are installing vNet Devices with the latest Firmware installed v1. Full details are available in the vNet User's Guide.

Note: Follow these steps only if you are installing vNet devices with a serial number xxxx or Firmware v1. The following procedure shows how to use Digi Devices to connect your Vaisala Veriteq Devices to the network. This section describes how to install the drivers for Digi Devices to connect Vaisala Veriteq Devices or Vaisala Series Transmitters to the network using an Ethernet connection. Click Next. Click Next two times.

The settings are saved. You only need to install a driver once on each machine to which Devices are connected. Setup process completes in 5 seconds. If you have a combination of Devices and set up configurations, your network may look similar to this combination diagram:.

Once your Devices are installed, you are ready to configure your Devices with vLog software, or, if you are using wireless Devices, HMT Utility software. These software programs allow you to confirm the successful installation of the port and change Device settings as required depending on your Device.

Refer to your specific Vaisala Device User Guides for installation and configuration instructions. Note: Depending on the Devices you have installed, some of these properties can be adjusted within viewLinc. Now you are ready to make Device monitoring, alarming and reporting activities available across your network.

This installation method allows the viewLinc server PC to monitor and administer all Devices connected to it, wired and wireless. If you are monitoring less than 20 Devices, you may decide that you only require one installation of viewLinc; however, if you want additional control and network stability, or have a medium or large installation, it is recommended that you connect some of your Devices to a Host PC.

Setting up viewLinc on additional, dedicated PCs allows automatic communication with the viewLinc Server while offering protection from bandwidth and network communication issues, and greater flexibility when managing Device configuration. Note: You must reboot the server for the viewLinc services to start running.

Note: If you did not use custom Channel descriptions in the earlier version of viewLinc, it is highly recommended. This will ensure you can easily identify your Device Channels in the viewLinc 4. You can set up additional computers as viewLincHosts. This option allows for greater flexibility when managing Devices, reduces the bandwidth required to communicate from server to Device, and reduces the chance of network interference. Contact Vaisala customer support if you require assistance.

Click OK. With all necessary viewLinc components installed, you can now use any machine on the network to log in to viewLinc with a browser to monitor conditions. You also need to create accounts for other Users, specifying their username, their Email address, availability schedule times they should receive alarm notification , their Rights and Access Control Permissions, the Channels they can view, and their authentication method if they will use a viewLinc login or use the same login as their Windows login.

Your administrator will provide the correct address. Save this address to your favorites or set as your homepage to easily access viewLinc from your browser. When a new language is selected, the page will automatically refresh and update accordingly. Note: To save your language setting, ensure that your browser is not set to automatically delete cookies upon exit.

Click Login. The first time you log in to viewLinc, the Locations window appears in the browser. This is the primary entry point for all Users. Once your viewLinc system is installed, Administrators may find the following Road Map a useful overview of the setup and configuration activities required to get your team started using viewLinc.

Once these set up activities are complete, you are ready to start monitoring Device readings, viewing events and printing reports. There are several important settings screens in viewLinc, which are all accessible from the System Configuration menu from the viewLinc desktop, select Options System Configuration.

You have the option of making these changes:. Vaisala Veriteq Devices have descriptions stored inside them that have a maximum length of 16 characters Series Transmitters do not store descriptions. For easier reference, you can configure viewLinc to display a longer, more informative description for a Device or a Channel, up to 64 characters.

This longer description is called an Alias. Events, Alarms, and Reports windows, and Email messages all use the designated descriptions for Channels and Devices. Comments can provide valuable reference information about changes made to your system by Users, or network Events. Depending on your Comments preference setting, manually entered or preconfigured Comments appear in the Events window Event details pane , generated in Reports, and added during the acknowledgement of alarm notifications.

Value field to select an option from the list. Choose whether comments are required on changes; if it is up to the User to enter a Comment; if they are required, or if only preconfigured comments are required. When viewLinc is installed, temperature is set to display in degrees Celsius. You can configure viewLinc to show temperatures in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, a setting that is applied globally.

This setting does not alter how the Device measures temperature, it simply alters the units in which temperature is displayed except for Channels which already have preferred unit settings assigned. Note: To set measurement units on individual Device Channels, see page Celsius C or Fahrenheit F setting. For team members who are required to acknowledge alarm notifications, specify whether you want to allow remote acknowledgement, and the method which you want used to issue acknowledgement, by Email, SMS or Email and SMS.

Enter the Security Key you were provided by Vaisala. This number specifies how many Devices can be managed by your licensed viewLinc product; it does not monitor how many Users can access the system. The Technical support log field specifies the amount of information detail included in the support log file. If you ever require viewLinc technical support, your Vaisala Technical Support representative may ask you to change the Technical support log setting temporarily, to better understand the issue you may be encountering.

Use the Users must confirm their identify field to choose a session expiry time after which a User must reconfirm their identity by reentering their password. This prevents non-authorized Users from making changes to viewLinc.

This setting is applied universally to all viewLinc Users and Administrators. You can choose to set this expiry time as Never , Always User is required to enter password before making any change to the system , or intervals of 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes after logging in or reconfirming their password. Choose whether to enable or disable the viewLinc Aware Service. This service automatically permits viewLinc to search for and communicate with vNet Devices on your network or subnet.

Note: Only one viewLinc Server per subnet can have this option enabled. For each Device you monitor, the information tracked on the Channel is preset. However, if you want the information displayed differently onscreen, use the Unit Preferences screen to make your changes. For example, if your Channel tracks MilliAmps, you could change the display text to read, mA.

The list displays all standard Device Channel unit types, but some of your Devices may be preconfigured with custom unit descriptions. When new vNet Devices, Loggers and Transmitters they are all referred to as Devices are connected to your network, most model types are automatically identified by viewLinc; however, if a Device does not display in the Devices navigation pane in the Locations window, you can run the viewLinc Discover Devices function to look for a missing Device.

But for instance 10 second average requested every 2 minutes consumes 12 times less. And 1 Hz sampling rate makes it further decrease to one fourth.

Each single measurement of PTU takes 5 seconds including the warm-up period. This can be used for estimating the average consumption of PTU. A single, isolated raindrop causes an additional. Thus Automatic mode is a little more economic, since interpreting the poll takes more prosessing time than starting the Automatic message. Also it should be noted that the host device's input data logger or PC may constantly draw some current from the TX line.

But with long data cables the consumption during data transmission may be a lot higher, especially when termination resistors are used. On the other hand, the RS driver is in high impedance state when not transmitting - thus in idle state no current can be drawn by the host input. Note that it can also be used with. In this case the commands must. Welcome to ManualMachine. We have sent a verification link to to complete your registration.

Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing. To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself: - Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench. When this is not possible, ground yourself with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord to the equipment chassis before touching the boards.

When neither of the above is possible, at least touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand before touching the boards. Recycling Recycle all applicable material. Dispose of batteries and the unit according to statutory regulations.

Do not dispose of with regular household refuse. License Agreement All rights to any software are held by Vaisala or third parties.

Heating Function To improve the accuracy of measurements an optional heating for the wind and precipitation sensors is available. The heating function option must be chosen when placing the order. CAUTION To prevent ingress of water, dust, and insects, cover the unused openings at the transmitter bottom with hexagonal rubber plugs included in the delivery.

Using V w values of two array paths is enough to compute wind speed and wind direction. The average values of wind speed and direction are calculated as a scalar average of of all samples over the selected averaging time Heating Optional Heating elements located below the precipitation sensor and inside the wind transducers keeps the precipitation and wind sensors clean from snow and ice. Be careful when removing the device from the container. Dropping the device can break or damage the transducers.

If the antenna bends or twists, re-aligning can be difficult or impossible. Selecting Location Finding a suitable site for Weather Transmitter WXT is important for getting representative ambient measurements. The site should represent the general area of interest. Weather Transmitter WXT should be installed in a location that is free from turbulence caused by nearby objects, such as trees or buildings. The rod must be properly grounded, compliant with all applicable local safety regulations.

Figure 7 Assembling WXT Mounting Weather Transmitter WXT can be mounted either onto a vertical pole mast or onto a horizontal cross arm. When mounting WXT onto a pole mast, an optional mounting kit can be used to ease mounting. When using the optional mounting kit, alignment is needed only when mounted for the first time.

Each of the mounting options is further described in the following sections. Mounting to Vertical Pole Mast 1. Figure 8 Location of Fixing Screw. When replacing the device the alignment is not needed. Mounting To Horizontal Cross Arm 1.

Remove the screw cover. Figure 13 Wind Direction Correction. Each of them can be wired either through the internal screw terminal or the 8-pin M12 connector optional. Only one serial interface can be used at a time. Input resistance R in is radically increased with voltages above 16 V see the following graph. Wiring Using the Screw Terminals 1. For the RS mode, the jumpers should be removed.

In the other modes the jumpers may stay or they can be removed. Red in the internal wiring, clear in the cable a non-insulated drain wire The signal names Data in RxD and Data out TxD in the table describe the direction of data flow as seen from WXT Internal Wiring The 8-pin M12 connector is optional and hence may not be readily installed.

See the interface diagrams in the next section. The termination resistors will remarkably increase power consumption during data transmission. Note that the RS interface can be used as well with four wires as the RS The basic difference between the RS and RS is actually their protocol. The RS output swings only between This is enough for modern PC inputs. The recommended maximum for RS line length is m ft with Bd data rate. Higher rates require shorter distance, for instance 30 m ft with Bd.

Power Management The power consumption of the WXT varies a lot, depending on the selected operating mode or protocol, the data interface type, the sensor configuration, and the measurement and reporting intervals.

A single, isolated raindrop causes an additional 0. In this case the commands must be in SDI format, but no special line break signals are required. The SDI mode is for polling only. When heating is on or temperature is such it should be on , some 0. When supplied through the Service port the minimum voltage level for reliable operation is 6V. This can also be seen in the supply voltage reading of the Supervisor message - the Vs value is 1V lower than the actual input voltage.
