  • Seite 7: Site Selection And Mounting

    Secure the support mast to the assembly. Lining up the two holes in each mast prevents rotation. At this point the entire unit should be secured to the support structure. It is crucial that the device be oriented as precisely as possible. For the VSN800-14 version, the wind direction measurement is directly related to this positioning.

    -0.125°C must be taken into account. 3.3.4 Anemometer The anemometer is directly attached to the top of the sensor assembly. For correct wind direction operation the VSN800-14 must be oriented correctly. By default the weather station is configured for operation in the Northern hemisphere. This requires that the irradiance sensor faces due south.

    5. Connect to the monitoring or management system The Modbus (RS485) connection is same as with any other RS485 device connected to a SunSpec-compliant management system. Refer to your management system documentation of any unique installation requirements. 1. String cable between the weather station and the management system to complete the physical connection. The connection to the management system can be as a single RS485 device or as part of a daisy chain of RS485 devices.

    GND. Connect the PV Panel temperature sensor cable to the two terminals labeled PV Temp #1. 6.1 Weather Station Electronics Board, Connect Secondary Sensors (VSN800-14 Model) The Pyranometer sensors are not interchangeable. The Pyranometer sensor supplied with the weather stations must be wired to Pyranometer #2.
  • Seite 14: Connect Pv Panel Sensor (Vsn800-12 Only)

    1. Attach the PV panel temperature sensor so it registers the temperature on the backside of a PV panel. See Sensor Mounting Requirements for location and mounting considerations. 2. Connect the sensor to the proper location on the circuit board. Note that the PV Temp #2 connectors are not used for the VSN800-12 Model.
  • Seite 15: Complete The Installation

    8. Complete the Installation 1. Properly ground the weather station by connecting the Earth GND terminal at the Weather Station to an earth ground. Connecting the Earth GND helps ensure the accuracy of weather instruments. 2. Re-attach the cover to the connection case using the four screws. Make sure not to pinch the newly connected 24VDC or RS485 wires coming out of the case bottom.
