to always have DCD on. The modem is then plugged into a telephone line and it is ready to be called from a remote location.

In order to call the WMS-16 from a remote computer the computer needs to have a communications program such as HyperTerminal or Procom. The communications parameters for the communications program are ASI, 9600, 8-N-1.

When the computer calls the WMS-16, the WMS-16’s modem will go off-hook and the WMS-16, will begin transmitting to the remote computer. All of the WMS-16’s functions are available from the remote computer. This includes observing real time data, looking at the hourly or daily logs, down loading data, and changing setup parameters such as logging period.

APPENDIX 1 WMS-16

The WMS-16 is configured at the factory for the sensors it is shipped with. The following information is provided to aide the user to make changes in the as delivered setup.

Instructions for setting up the WMS-16 with the following sensors.

Wind Speed and Direction

Connect the wind sensor=s signal cable to the terminal strip on the back of the control module. This sensor has a four conductor shielded cable. The RED wire is connected to the +5 REF terminal; The BLACK wire is connected to a GROUND terminal; the GREEN wire (wind direction signal) is connected to the A7 terminal and the WHITE wire (wind speed signal) is connected to the P1 terminal. The WMS-16 is now ready for wind speed and wind direction initializing.

INITIALIZATION OF WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION SENSORS
