Weather Station Operation/Installation Manual

Installing the Weather Station Hardware

WARNING

Before installing the Weather Station ensure the following have been checked and completed.

Ensure the X20 console is already installed in the vehicle

Ensure that you understand the X20 console Operator’s Manual

Before installing the Weather Station check the X20 console’s serial number is A2010060472 or above. If the X20 console’s serial number is below A2010060472 then it will need to be returned to Topcon Precision Agriculture to be refined, so that it is compatible with the Weather Station.

Choosing a Mounting Location

Selecting a suitable mounting location is important for the optimal performance of the Weather Station. The mounting location and orientation of the Weather Station should be:

On a flat surface, this gives the Wind/Weather sensor the best accuracy of wind speed and direction

High enough to have a clear view of the sky to the horizon, in all directions, unblocked by GPS antennas, and other obstructions mounted on the roof of the vehicle. The Weather Station provides the best readings when wind travelling through it is unimpeded by any obstructions.
