110-WS-25 Quick Start
Hardware Installation
Select a level area on firm ground that will support the tripod. The area should
be away from buildings or trees that block air movement. A grassy area is
preferred as sunlight reflected from gravel or pavement could elevate the
temperature readings. If high winds are expected the legs of the tripod must
be secured to prevent tipping over.
1. Open the tripod to the fullest extent and secure it.
2. Assemble the wind sensor on the swaged end of the 5' mast. Secure it with
the two screws on the base of the sensor. Notice the NORTH label on the
base of the wind sensor.
3. Assemble the mast to the tripod. Rotate the mast until the NORTH label
points north. Tighten the mounting screws on the tripod.
4. Mount the temperature/humidity sensor on the mast.
5. Install the rain gauge on the opposite side of the mast.
6. The logger and barometric pressure sensor must be protected from the
weather (install indoors).
Wiring
Route the cables from the weather station to the back of the logger. If any cables must be extended
please refer to the User Manual (Appendix A) for maximum lengths allowable.

Logger Status
Use the up and down buttons below the display to toggle through
the Main Menu.
1. Check the Date and Time.
2. Check the logging interval, which is expressed in seconds.
3. If correct, insert the memory card to begin logging. Otherwise
consult the instruction manual. Note: serial data will be output
regardless of whether the memory card is installed or not.
View Sensor Data on the Logger
Scroll to Counter Channels, Analog Channels or Wind Channels and
then press the SELECT button. Within the sub-menus, press the up
and down buttons to view sensor data.
 Counter Channels 2: Rain Today
 Analog Channels A0: Input Voltage, A4: Temperature,
A5: Humidity, A6: Barometric Pressure
 Wind Channels AN0: Wind Speed/Max, Wind Direction
View Sensor Data on a Computer
View data in 110-WS-25STR Graphical Display Software (sold separately) or in
a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, Putty, or TeraTerm. Select the
COM port, 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, no parity, no flow control. Sample data:
2021-01-02 01:58:22,1.9,7.0,4739,,,,,,,,,0.00,244,12.49,,,,10.3,82.5,,82.185,157,W603 ,1,0,155
Download Data
1. Press inwards on the data card to release it.
2. Insert the data card into the USB card reader (included). Connect the card reader to a computer.
3. Open File Explorer to access the contents of the memory card. Copy any files you want to keep.
Note: The logger creates a new file every day, with the date code as the name (YYYYMMDD.csv).
4. Open the file in a spreadsheet. It may be necessary to invoke "Text to Columns" to get the data to
fall into separate columns. The logger does not pre-pend column headings, so you will need to
create headings and copy/paste them into the spreadsheet to make it easier to interpret the data.
