Installation, Operation and Maintainance of Automatic Meteorological Stations
Introduction
Figure 4 presents the portable keyboard display and the data storage module, which are used together to com-
municate with the data logger while in the field. One set can serve several stations, as these items are only used
during the periodic inspection visits. The storage module is a solid, rugged instrument, and is used to transfer the
measurement values from the datalogger in the field to a PC in the office.

1.3 Overview of the Contents of the Manual
This manual presents all the information needed to install, operate, and maintain all components of the Met Sta-
tion.
Chapter 2 covers the storage and control module CR10X, including its interactions with the SM4M storage module
and CR10KD keyboard display. Chapter 3 describes the functioning of all six sensors, while chapter 4 discusses the
power supply, including solar panel, charger/regulator, and rechargeable battery. Chapter 5 presents the tripod,
while detailed information on the protective enclosure ENC12/14 is discussed in chapter 6. Guidelines on how to
maintain the Met Station compound are covered in chapter 7.
The following text refers at several places to Campbell Scientific Operation Manuals, which should have been pro-
vided with the equipment. These operation manuals should be considered as background information. They could
be useful if the reader wants to know in detail how the equipment works, or would like to modify the data logger
program when a new sensor has been added. We do not advise to study these operation manuals. All relevant infor-
mation needed for the installation, use, and maintenance of the Met Station are covered in this document.
However, this document does not include the complete data trajectory. Retrieval of the data values from the SM4M
storage module to PC is dealt with in a separate manual called “Manual on Data Retrieval, Processing, and Final
Storage in the Database”.
