15. WEATHERPAK ® Tower (Tripod) The tower contains the power source (ten (10) “D” cell Alkaline batteries) The tower is designed to remain upright in 52 kts wind without additional support or anchoring For long or permanent deployments – 12 VDC can be applied to the connector

16. The WEATHERPAK ® assembles in 3 easy steps: 1.Connect WEATHERPAK ® to tower top 2.Insert legs into lower tower 3.Place top of tower onto bottom of tower WEATHERPAK ® Tower

17. WEATHERPAK ® Tower Replacing the Batteries  You must use Alkaline batteries  Remove battery plug – using a large screw driver  Empty out 10 batteries  Replace with new batteries

18. WEATHERPAK ® Receiver / Display Box Data can be sent at any rate from 5 seconds to once an hour. Our standard factory setting sends data every 30 seconds Typical Data displayed…  5-minute Wind Speed & Direction  Compass style Wind Direction  Air Temperature  Relative Humidity  Barometric Pressure  Latitude and Longitude

19. In addition to weather data, there are three touch- screen buttons at the bottom of the screen. The “WEATHERPAK Status” screen shows you raw data from that WEATHERPAK ® as well as battery voltage for the WEATHERPAK ® and other diagnostic information Shows how many “WEATHERPAK's Detected” Receiver can detect and display data from any WEATHERPAK ® in Range. Touching this button displays data from ALL of them Touching the GRAPH button allows you to see any data graphed over the last 3 hours WEATHERPAK ® Receiver / Display Box

20. There are several other “views” that can be seen on the touch screen display Active Screen It displays the data received from the “Active” WEATHERPAK ®. It is your MAIN screen. WEATHERPAK ® Receiver Additional Touch Screens

21. WEATHERPAK ® s Detected Screen – This screen is seen by touching the “WEATHERPAK ® s Detected” button. It lists all WEATHERPAK ® s detected by the receiver and displays the: Serial number “Instant” wind speed and direction Direction and distance for THAT WEATHERPAK ® – FROM YOU WEATHERPAK ® Receiver Additional Touch Screens

22. Status Screen - This screen displays all the information being transmitted by the WEATHERPAK ®, including the Identification Number, tower battery voltage, and the raw data message being transmitted by the WEATHERPAK ®. WEATHERPAK ® Receiver Additional Touch Screens

23. Preview Screen - Displays data from ANOTHER WEATHERPAK ® that you are detecting. WEATHERPAK ® Receiver Additional Touch Screens

24. Special Data Processing  Averaged Data – this data is averaged over the selected time period (5 seconds to 24 hours)  Instantaneous Data – this is the most recent data sampled  Vector Averaged Data – A special process that calculates wind speed and direction accurately (it solves the problem of wind direction from the 0/360 direction)  Wind is FROM – wind direction is always where the wind is coming FROM  True vs. Magnetic North – a compass measures magnetic true – it must be offset to report TRUE

25. Connecting to Computer  Plug the Display box power cord into a power source (220/110VAC unless otherwise marked).  Plug one end of the serial data cable into the computer COM port (serial port) if a serial port is not available you will need a serial to USB converter cable.  Turn the Receiver switch on.  The Receiver power indicator light should now be on. The system will take approximately one minute to boot-up.  With the WEATHERPAK  MTR assembled and running, and after the Display box has completed the boot-up routine, the amber colored data light should blink briefly, every 30 seconds.  Load INTERCEPT™ on your PC and configure per the instructions.

26. Batteries  The WEATHERPAK ® is powered by ten alkaline “D” cell batteries, which are located in the top section of the tower. The batteries should be replaced periodically with high quality alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries typically do not perform well in the WEATHERPAK ®.  The “Internal” battery in the Receiver / Display box should provide several years of service and is not user maintained. If you believe the internal Receiver / Display battery is not functioning properly, call Coastal’s Service Department.  Please refer to the WEATHERPAK ® MTR manual for more on low battery indicators and battery replacement. Very Important: Study the WEATHERPAK ® MTR User Manual, Section 7-3 - “Replacing Tower Batteries and Fuse” before installing fresh tower batteries. Improper battery installation will cause system malfunction and likely require fuse replacement.
