Weather Station
CODE 06730001
Manual
The weather station has a set of climatic sensors: relative humidity, temperature, solar
radiation, anemometer, wind vane and rainfall gauge.
The weather station is easy to install, has a watertight connection and is resistant to inclement
weather. It has a metallic structure to hold the dierent devices that the weather station includes
and arms to place the sensors further away from the body, so that they give the correct readings.
All sensors have a 4-20 mA current output, except the rainfall gauge, which has a pulse output
(digital output).
The weather station is connected to the Agrónic with a 12-metre multi-wire cable.

Installation
In order to ensure good quality data in the probe reading, it is very important to take a series
of tips into account in the installation as well as to choose the location correctly.
• Move the weather station away from any artificial source of heat or cold.
• The recommended height from the ground is between 1.25 metres and about 2 metres.
• Avoid obstacles such as walls, trees, fences, etc. that may aect the sensor readings. The
weather station should be moved away to a reasonable distance of twice the height of the
nearest object (see example).
• The rainfall gauge must be level and must be mounted on a support so that vibrations are
not transmitted to it.
• For optimal system operation, it is important to ensure the wind vane is oriented correctly.
Depending on the hemisphere in which it is installed, its assembly changes.

Before mounting the weather station, an internal flange must be cut that protects the tipping
container of the rainfall gauge while it is being moved.
Follow the instructions below:
• Remove the "aerocone" to reveal the inside of the rainfall gauge. To do this, turn a little to
the le as shown in the drawing.
• Li the aerocone to see the entire rainfall gauge mechanism.
• Use pliers to cut the flange that prevents the container from tipping, as shown in the
image. To finish, place the "aerocone" again turning to the right.

Sensor conguration
The sensor, with analogue output, acts by delivering a current and a voltage proportional
to what it measures. The format indicates the sensor units and the relationship between the
voltage read by the input and the sensor reading values.
To configure the sensors of the weather station, go to:
• Function | Settings | Sensors | Analogue
Depending on the controller, once in and for each of the sensors, configure the data according
to the following tables.

as follows.
From the Agrónic Bit menu, go to:
• Function | Settings | Sensors | Analogue | Formats
Once in, the settings should be the same as shown in the following table.
*This digital output number is used to power the sensor for a configurable time.
IMPORTANT
In the controllers, modify the values of format number 1, since by default it is configured for
another type of temperature sensor.

Maintenance
THE RAINFALL GAUGE DOES NOT COUNT OR ACCUMULATE ANY DATA
THE SENSOR(S) ARE NOT READING ANYTHING
• Check that the flange that protects the tipping container inside the rainfall gauge has been
cut. (P. 5)
For correct operation, some of the sensors require annual maintenance.
• Rainfall gauge:
- Remove the leaf filter and remove any solids that may be clogging it.
- Clean the scoop, the funnel hole in the cone, and the drains in the base.
• Solar radiation: It may be necessary to clean the top dome due to any dirt deposits. In this
case, clean with a damp cloth with water, alcohol or a non-abrasive product.
• Check that the sensors are well connected to the connection box. (P. 6)
