Vaisala WTX536 Weather Station with AQS1 (ARTICLE)

I'm going to show you how to mount a Vaisala Ultra Sonic Weather Station to a tripod. And this is where the station connects to the Aeroqual AQS monitor and Aeroqual dust century monitor. All right, let's have a look at the components. Here have the Vaisala weather station and down here, we have the connection for the power and comms.

 

This component here is the one inch pole connector that we'll use. Here's the power and comms. And finally on the pole is a one inch pole that we provide to you and a hose clamp. That's connecting that on to our tripod. All right, so the first thing we need to do is attach the one inch pole connector to the one inch pole. You simply place that onto the pole. It just sits there, ready for us to put the weather station on.

 

Okay, next we have to connect the power and comms to the weather station, but the power and comms cable has to go through the one inch pole. So I'll show you how to do that, but this is where you connect the two and you just have to screw the silver component tightly on to make the connection. All right, now let me just show you that on the tripod. Okay, we're putting the cable through.

 

Connect that power cable to the Vaisala and it is tight. Put the Vaisala onto the one inch pole connector, like so. There's your Vaisala mounted onto your tripod. Now you want to make sure that the Vaisala is pointed to North. There is an arrow under the bottom here, arrow just there. So if you point your weather station North, you can rotate that around the one inch pole relatively easily. Point that North to make sure that you're getting the right wind direction readings. Okay.
