Unpacking the Unit
Unpack the Capricorn 2000EX weather station and verify that all parts
are included.
Inspect all system components for obvious shipping damage (Refer to
page 5 in case of damage).
Save the shipping carton and packing material in case the unit needs to
be returned to the factory. Note: If items are missing or if there is
damage, see page 5. If the system does not operate or calibrate
properly, see Section 7: Maintenance and Section 8: Troubleshooting, for
further instructions.
Installing the Control Module
Place the Capricorn 2000EX Control Module in a clean, dry location,
close to a grounded power outlet (and phone line, if a modem connection
is required).
Plug the power cord into a convenient grounded outlet. Connect the
Chassis Ground terminal to a good earth ground.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you protect your unit from power
line spikes (caused by lightning or electrical discharge) by installing a
good quality spike-surge suppression device between the Control
Module and the power source.
