2. At the station console site, put the external modem in a location where it can
connect to both the logger and a phone jack and plug it into the phone jack.
Note: Do not turn the modem on at this time.
The cable connecting the data logger to the modem is 8' (2.4 m) long. Use a
40
' (12 m) standard 4-conductor extension cable to extend the connection
between the console and modem. Do not attempt to use more than 40’ of
extension cable, or the data logger may have difficulty communicating with
the computer.
3. Plug the external modem into the phone jack.
4. Enter the console’s Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE, then press-
ing the down arrow (-). Entering Setup Mode ensures that the station is not
writing any data and saves the current daily weather information to memory.
5. Remove the battery cover from the console back and remove all power by
removing the batteries and AC-power adapter, if present.
Note: Failure to remove power to the console before installing the data logger may cause dam-
age to the data logger or console.
6. Carefully insert the serial data logger into the receptacle marked
EXPANSION inside the battery compartment.
7. Guide the data logger cable through the square slot below the receptacle.
Note: Make sure that whenever you connect or disconnect the data logger from the console
that the console is not powered up. Plugging or unplugging the data logger while power is
applied can damage or lock up the data logger.
8. Connect the Telephone Modem Adapter to the external modem.
Note: Do not use a DB25 (not included) adapter and a gender changer to attach the logger to a
modem because it will not work.
9. Insert the cable plug at the end of the cable into the Telephone Modem
Adapter.
10. Turn the modem ON. Turning the modem on at this point allows it to receive
the modem initialization string from the console.
11. Restore power to the console by reinstalling the batteries and reattaching the
power adapter, if present.
The console beeps three times; each beep occurring within one second of the
others. The Weather Envoy beeps two times, also occurring within one
second of each other. Once power has been returned to the console, the Setup
Mode is automatically displayed.
12. Replace the battery cover, so that the data logger cable exits through the
square slot.
13. Check the baud rate settings on the console. Use the BAR and DONE to
scroll to the Baud Rate settings screen:
