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.
