Connecting the Unit

 

 

 

 

There are three plugs at the end of the CloudWatcher, as seen in the image:

 

A DB9 connector, for the PC's serial port (or the USB/Serial converter)

A jack plug for powering the unit. (12 or 15 V, less than 1A, any polarity)

Two terminals for the relay output, which can be optionally used to operate the opening / closing mechanism.

A weather resistant IP68 plug connects to our optional anemometer.

 

 

 

Caution!

Do not remove the blue cap unless connecting an anemometer.

Do not remove sealant around the case or the coating on the rain sensor.
