CHAPTER 1 FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing the WEATHERPAK®TRx2 manufactured by Coastal Environmental
Systems, Inc. The system has no customer serviceable parts (other than tower battery
replacement) and does require some periodic maintenance (See Chapter 8). We recommend
reading the entire User’s Manual prior to using your new WEATHERPAK®for the first time.
Coastal products are in continuous development; therefore, specifications may be subject to
change and improvements may be made without prior notice.
CHAPTER 2 INTRODUCTION
The WEATHERPAKTRx2 measures wind speed and direction, air temperature, and relative
humidity and calculates the wind stability class (required by plume modeling software).
Atmospheric conditions are sampled every second and then the system computes a 5-minute
running average (also required by plume modeling software). The data is then transmitted every
30 seconds to the display and plume model.
The WEATHERPAKTRx2 has been specifically designed for use by Hazardous Materials
Responders and shares the following features with the rest of the WEATHERPAKline of products:
•The wind sensor is an advanced technology, “ultrasonic” style anemometer. The ultrasonic
wind sensor has no moving parts, is very accurate (particularly at very low wind speeds) and
does not require periodic calibration.
•Automatically updates CAMEO/ALOHA, CHARM, MIDASand most other plume
modeling software programs.
•A built-in electronic compass allows the WEATHERPAKto be set up in any orientation –
will automatically determine True North and give true wind direction.1
•Set-up time is less than one minute.
•The electrical connections are designed to intrinsically safe standards2
•The WEATHERPAKhousing is double O-ring sealed and dried with a desiccant to protect
the electronics against moisture and to withstand decontamination procedures.
and the housing and
tower are constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum, a non-corrosive and non-sparking alloy. The
WEATHERPAK®has been tested and meets or exceeds MIL-STD 810F and MIL-STD-
461C.
•All electronics are grounded at a single point to protect the WEATHERPAKagainst EMI
(electro-magnetic interference) and RF (radio frequency) interference, thus assuring reliable
data and transmission.
This manual will familiarize you with the installation, operation, and maintenance of the
WEATHERPAKTRx2. Please read all of the instructions before attempting to operate or
troubleshoot the system.
1Declination (the variation of True North from Magnetic North) for your location is configured by Coastal Environmental
Systems prior to shipping. If necessary, the declination can be reconfigured. Please contact Coastal’s Customer Service
Department if this is necessary.

CHAPTER 4 DEPLOYING THE WEATHERPAK®
4-1
4-1.1
SITING CONSIDERATIONS
The WEATHERPAKcontains an electronic compass for automatic alignment to True North. Like
any compass, an error will be created if it is located too close (laterally) to a large mass of steel or
other magnetic material. (In other words, on top of a vehicle is OK, but next to it is not an ideal
location). Try to place the WEATHERPAKat least 30 meters (100 feet) from large metal objects
(vehicles, steel buildings, etc).
Compass Accuracy
4-1.2
Select a site that is as exposed as possible. Structures, trees, terrain, etc. will disrupt the wind flow
for a considerable distance. For example, if the WEATHERPAKis placed immediately North of
your vehicle and the wind is coming from the South, erroneous wind direction and speed data will
result.
Wind Speed and Direction Accuracy
4-1.3
Locate the WEATHERPAKas close as safety permits to the hot zone. The WEATHERPAK’s
UHF radio has a range of 5 to 7 miles

“line-of-sight”. The radio typically will not transmit through
structures containing steel, or through hills, so try to position the WEATHERPAK®accordingly.

Assemble the tower in the following manner:
TRIPOD TOWER
1. Insert and lock the legs onto the bottom section
of the tower, forming the tower tripod base.
2. Align the slot on the WEATHERPAKwith the
guide pin on the quick release and push straight
in. DO NOT “screw” the WEATHERPAKonto
the KamLock connector. The KamLock provides
a precision sealed fit and may require an extra
push to properly seat the WEATHERPAK®. Once
the weather station is properly seated, press the
arms of the clamp down to assure a tight fit.
3. Place the entire unit (upper tower section and
WEATHERPAK) onto the tripod and finger-
tighten the tower locking screw.
4. The WEATHERPAKis now running and

The adapter consists of a KamLock quick release (just like the
one on the tripod tower) with a 1 ½” National Pipe Thread, 25
feet of cable and a removable protective cap (See Fig. 2).
Vehicle
Adapter (P/N S80061) which allows the WEATHERPAK®TRx2
to be mounted onto a vehicle, van or trailer.
The threaded KamLock can be adapted to any type of vehicle
mounted tower or stanchion that fits your needs and vehicle.
The vehicle adapter provides power only (12 VDC) and data is
sent to the Receiver/Display via radio.

CHAPTER 6 SYSTEM OPERATION
Once assembled, the WEATHERPAKautomatically begins sampling weather conditions and
transmits data to the Receiver/Display every 30 seconds.
The Receiver/Display takes approximately 5 -10 seconds to complete a boot-up routine. When this
process is complete, the Receiver/Display is ready to accept the first transmission from the
WEATHERPAK®. You can now view the data on the Receiver/Display box, run plume modeling
software, or view and archive the data using Coastal’s optional
INTERCEPT™ Software.
CHAPTER 7 WEATHERPAK® AND PLUME MODELING SOFTWARE
When the WEATHERPAK®is set up and operational, and the Receiver/Display box connected to
your computer, real-time data is available to run air dispersion plume modeling software.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some earlier versions of ALOHA®need to be upgraded in order to work with a
Station for Atmospheric Measurement (SAM); the WEATHERPAK®is a SAM. The U.S. EPA
provides CAMEO®/ALOHA®software downloads, support, and information at its website:
http://www.epa.gov/osweroe1/content/cameo/index.htm .
The following is a brief outline of the steps taken to produce an ALOHA®plume model on a PC
operating Windows®. Our assumptions are that the user is familiar with ALOHA®and that the
program is properly loaded onto the user’s computer. Coastal Environmental Systems
recommends consulting the ALOHA®web site and/or a certified CAMEO®/ALOHA®instructor for
training, program details and limitations.
1. Open ALOHA®by clicking on its desktop icon, or selecting it from the Windows®Programs
menu. An “Air Model Limitations” dialogue box will appear with important notes on program
limitations. Read them, and then select “OK”.
2. A “Text Summary” window will appear with information summarizing the event.
3. Confirm that your “Site Data” information is correct. If required, use the [SiteData] drop-
down menu to change data.
4. Select the drop-down menu [SetUp] – [Chemical]. Choose the appropriate chemical.
5. Select the drop-down menu [SetUp] – [Atmospheric] – [SAM Station]. A series of dialogue
boxes will then appear requiring user observations or assumptions. Please Note
6. (Optional) To confirm that the WEATHERPAK®data is being delivered to ALOHA®, use the
drop-down menu [SAM Options] – [Processed Data]. A “Processed SAM Data” window will
appear.
: relative
humidity is not automatically captured by the ALOHA®model and may be manually entered
using data from the WEATHERPAK®display.
Please Note: If the WEATHERPAK®has been collecting data for less than five
minutes, a warning message will be displayed in both the Text Summary and Processed
SAM Data windows.

WEATHERPAK®TRx2

P/N: 0302-117-002 Rev. C 10
7. ALOHA®requires that the SAM station be operating for five minutes before allowing the
selection of the source of the release (tank, pipe, direct, etc.). Select the drop-down menu
[SetUp] – [Source]. Select the source of the leak (tank, for example); a series of dialogue
boxes will then appear requiring user observations or assumptions.
8. Select the [Display] – [Footprint] drop-down menu. A “Level of Concern” dialog box will
appear with default ERPG ranges displayed. Select “OK” to show the plume footprint.
Displaying the footprint in ALOHA®is essential before the plume can be overlaid on a
MARPLOT®or other street map.
9. (Optional) Select the [Display] drop-down menu to produce graphs for source strength and
concentration.
10. Select the [Sharing] drop-down menu to plot the plume onto a MARPLOT®(or other) map.
As weather conditions change, the plume size and position will change, shortly after the
WEATHERPAK®provides updated data. Please Note
Figure 4 - CAMEO®/ALOHA®Screen
:MARPLOT®software requires that
the ALOHA®window overlay the map window in order for the map-plume to update
automatically (See Fig. 5).

WEATHERPAK®TRx2
User’s Manual
P/N: 0302-117-002 Rev. C 11
WEATHERPAK®reads the sensors every second and automatically applies an algorithm to the
sensor data to calculate five-minute running averages. This calculated data is transmitted, along
with the “INSTANTANEOUS” data, every thirty seconds to the receiver and subsequently the plume
model. In addition, the WEATHERPAK®calculates Sigma Theta. This is a measurement of air
turbulence, which affects the mixing or dispersion of a chemical in the atmosphere. Sigma Theta is
also referred to as “Stability.”
The “INSTANTANEOUS” data is the last direct sensor reading prior to the thirty-second update.
The operator may be able to detect a trend (i.e. wind shift) by comparing the “5 MINUTE RUNNING
AVERAGE” and “INSTANTANEOUS” data. The battery voltage is also transmitted. Battery
Voltage is the tripod battery voltage. When fresh batteries are installed, the reading will be 13.5
VDC (or higher). This number will go down slowly as the batteries are depleted. Batteries should
be replaced when this reading reaches 10.7 or lower
If you drop-down the [SAM Options] from the Main menu and select [Raw Data], something like
the following line of data will appear:
.
421, 0.9, 225, 1.0, 23.9, 1.0, 226, 23.9, 14.0, 1917,, 46, 2536
This is ASCll data being sent by the WEATHERPAK. Notice that most of these numbers will
appear in the “Processed Sam Data” dialog screen in ALOHA®. The difference is that there are no
labels and some additional number characters are present. In addition, this raw data is delivered in
metric units (millibars, m/s, C), whereas the processed data has been converted to Standard
English units (inches, MPH, F).
Two “checksums” are performed to ensure that the message was sent correctly. The computer
adds up the “ASCII value” of the data line (each letter, number, comma, etc., has a numerical value
universal to all computers) to make sure that the computer received the same number that the
WEATHERPAKtransmitted.

CHAPTER 8 MAINTENANCE
8-1
Routine maintenance is required on the WEATHERPAKevery 12 months, to ensure the overall
system and its sensors are working and performing within specification. The actual services vary,
based on the sensors installed on your WEATHERPAKmodel. For example, a WEATHERPAK
TRx2 should have the compass, air temperature and relative humidity sensors tested to their stated
specifications. (The wind monitor does not require periodic calibration or maintenance). In
addition, the entire WEATHERPAKshould be examined for any wear, damage or other non-
conforming variances. For more information, please contact Coastal Environmental Systems’
service department at (800) 488-8291 x157 to arrange maintenance on your WEATHERPAK®.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
8-2
When the tower batteries voltage drops below 10.7 VDC a flashing “T” will appear in the lower right
corner of the display. Replace with fresh batteries when this occurs. The system will function at
lower voltages, but components will begin to fail, for example, the wind sensor will cease function at
10 volts and the radio will lose 70% of its transmission power at 9 volts.

secrets, common law rights in any of the foregoing, computer software (including all documentation and

10. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION: Either party hereto may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to
the other following any material breach or omission by the other with respect to any term, representation,
warranty, condition, or covenant hereof and the failure of such other party to cure such material breach or
omission within ten (10) days of notice of such breach or omission. Upon such termination, Coastal shall have
the right to repossess all products delivered to Buyer under this Agreement. Costs of repossession will be
paid by Buyer if Buyer is the defaulting party. Termination under this paragraph does not relieve Buyer from its
payment obligations under this Agreement.
11. U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS: If the products are to be used in the performance of a U.S.
Government contract or subcontract and a U.S. Government contract number shall appear on Buyer’s
purchase order, those clauses of the applicable U.S. Government procurement regulation which are required
by Federal statute to be included in U.S. Government subcontracts shall be incorporated herein by reference.
12. RESALE AND ASSIGNMENT: Buyer agrees that it will not assign its rights under these terms and
conditions to any third party and will not sell any products unless explicitly authorized to do so in writing by
Coastal.
13. COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. EXPORT LAW: If Buyer delivers the products to its customer who may use the
products outside of the United States, Buyer acknowledges and shall advise its customer that the products are
controlled for export by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the products may require authorization prior to
export from the United States or re-export. Buyer agrees that it will not export, re-export, or otherwise
distribute products, or direct products thereof, in violation of any export control laws or regulations of the
United States.
14. APPLICABLE LAW: This Agreement and the performance of the parties hereunder shall be construed in
accordance and governed by the law, including the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the State of
Washington under the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts sitting in Seattle,
Washington.
15. ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS: In any dispute concerning or arising under this Agreement or any
transaction relating hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs,
including, without limitation, costs and fees incurred on appeal or in a bankruptcy or similar action.

17. SEVERABILITY: If any term of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity or
circumstance shall at any time or to any extent be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any
provision of applicable law, to the full extent the applicable law may be waived, it is hereby waived. To the
extent such law cannot be waived, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be replaced by a valid term which
comes closest to the intentions of the parties to this Agreement. In case such replacement term cannot be
agreed upon, the invalidity of the term in question shall not affect the validity of any other term or this
Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid term is of such essential importance that it can be reasonably
assumed that the parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid term.
APPENDIX 1 - COASTAL ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
18. TAXES: Coastal will pay and Buyer will reimburse Coastal for any federal, state, or local sales, use
excise, or similar tax on all orders applicable to this Agreement.
19. WAIVERS:A waiver of any breach or default under this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach or default. The failure of either party to enforce any term of this Agreement will
not constitute a waiver of such party’s rights to subsequently enforce the term.
20. CAPTIONS:The headings, subheadings, and other captions in this Agreement are for convenience and
reference only and shall not be used in interpreting, construing or enforcing any of the terms of this
Agreement.
21. COMMUNCATIONS EQUIPMENT: Coastal Environmental Systems, Inc. provides expert support in
designing and installing various types of communications systems (cell modem, radio, satellite, etc.).
However, communication devices are subject to issues in regard to functionality in the field that may not be
within the control of Coastal to resolve without additional third party support, engineering effort or equipment
changes not included with the original work ordered by the customer. Where issues of this type arise and
there is a need for additional engineering support, services or equipment beyond what was originally included
with the order, the customer will be billed for the additional work. Delays in shipping the equipment to the
customer that exceed 30 days will be subject to invoicing for the work performed up to that point prior to
shipping the order and prior to resolution of the particular communications issue.
