== '''<big> | == '''<big>Sokol-M1 station installation kit for mast mounting</big>''' == | ||
To install the SOKOL-M1 automatic weather station equipment on a mast, you must additionally purchase a mast mounting kit. '''ТЕМГ.416931.004.''' | |||

The product should be placed in an open area with free access to the equipment. There should be no significant obstacles '''(large buildings, groups of trees)''' within a minimum distance '''of 10 m around the site''' where the station is located. | |||
It is not recommended to install the product near surfaces that heat up significantly, such as roofs covered with roofing felt. It is not recommended to install the station near a motorway, as the vibration caused by the movement of heavy vehicles may affect the measurement results. | |||
''' | Avoid sites on slopes or steep slopes descending in one direction '''(especially if this direction coincides with the prevailing wind direction)''' so that the selected site does not significantly distort the wind speed and direction. | ||
The installation site should be selected in an area that is typical of the surrounding terrain and does not differ from the surrounding area in terms of heat and moisture exchange characteristics. There should be a natural surface '''(grass, soil)''' near the location of the remote sensors. | |||
For the correct operation of the precipitation, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and relative humidity sensors built into the weather station, the product should be installed at a height of '''2±0.05 m''' above the ground. | |||
''''' | It is recommended to place the external weather vane and anemometer at a height of '''10 m''' above the ground. Wind sensors can be placed on the roof of a house. In this case, they should be placed at a height of at least '''2-3 m above''' the upper edge of the roof. | ||
When installing the '''Sokol-DR 800''' distance sensor, the expected snowfall height in the area should be taken into account, and it should be installed '''no closer than 15 cm''' to the expected snowline. | |||
''' | The order of installation and connection of the weather station's optional elements depends on their list and installation locations '''(mast, pole, tripod)'''. The installation of optional elements should be carried out '''from top to bottom''', starting with the highest sensor '''(device).''' | ||
'''<u>''Note''</u>''' – ''<u>The results of measurements of basic meteorological parameters at stations make it possible to interpolate measured values at any point within a homogeneous territory with a radius of '''50 to 60 km''' (for precipitation and atmospheric phenomena – within a radius of approximately '''15 to 20 km''').</u>'' | |||

The product should be installed on a support mast on a '''flat surface''' free from obstacles that could affect the product's readings. | |||
'''The maximum angle''' between the point where the weather station is attached to the support and the top of any obstructing objects should be '''45°''' to the horizontal surface. | |||
''' | To minimize the effect of precipitation splash, '''it is recommended to avoid''' areas with hard surfaces such as metal, asphalt, or concrete. Instead, '''it is recommended''' '''to''' install the product on low grass, gravel, pebbles, or soft soil. '''Avoid sites''' on slopes or steep slopes descending in one direction (especially if this direction coincides with the prevailing wind direction) so that the selected site '''does not significantly distort''' wind speed and direction. '''It is not recommended to''' install the product on building roofs, as this '''may distort''' the measurement results. | ||
''' | Before installing the '''SOKOL-M1''', it is necessary to prepare a mounting support for the product. Metal pipes or poles with an outer diameter of '''40 to 48 mm''' should be used as supports. | ||
''' | '''<u>The product is installed in the following order:</u>''' | ||
− unpack the product; | |||
− check the componentss of the product in accordance with this operating manual. If the product is found to be incomplete, notify the supplier or the organization providing comprehensive centralized service, and consider the '''SOKOL-M1''' station not ready for use; | |||
− Check the components of the product for damage. To do this, you must sequentially inspect all components of the product to check the condition of the power cables and interface cables for external mechanical damage. If external mechanical damage to the product components is found, the supplier or the organization providing comprehensive centralized service must be notified, and the weather station must be considered not ready for use; | |||
− assemble the cup anemometer; | |||
− install the '''cups (4)''' on the '''skirt (3)'''; | |||
''' | − Install the '''skirt (3)''' on the '''shaft (2)'''. | ||
− Secure the '''cover (5)''' with the '''screw (6)''' as shown in '''Figure 6.''' | |||
''' | - Install the anemometer and wind vane on the wing of the weather station and secure them with '''fastening nuts (7)''' as shown in '''Figure 7.''' | ||
''' | - Connect the interface cables of the anemometer and wind vane to connectors '''7 and 11 as shown in Figure 7.''' Optionally, wind sensors can be installed at a distance of '''up to 10 meters''' from the ground. The possible location of wind sensors relative to the '''SOKOL-M1''' weather station is shown in '''Figure 5'''; | ||
− Install the antennas in '''connectors 5 and 8 as shown in Figure 7''' according to the markings on the product body; | |||
''' | − Insert the SIM card into connector 4 and turn on the weather station by turning the '''key (12)''' twice. After turning on, LED '''indicator 1''' will start flashing '''at a frequency of 3 times per second''' (the weather station is in time capture mode) or '''1 time every 5 seconds''' (the time is set in the weather station). | ||
− Connect the weather station to a PC using the USB cable included in the kit to connect the weather station to a PC as shown in '''Figure 7, connector 3.''' | |||
− Install the standalone software. | |||
− Establish a connection between the '''SokolCFG software''' and the weather station by opening the corresponding '''COM port.''' The readings from the weather station sensors should appear in the program window; | |||
''' | − Install the base of the product on the '''mounting bracket.''' Use a '''13 mm''' wrench to evenly tighten the mounting screws; | ||
− '''Disconnect the product from the PC'''; | |||
<u>''''' | − After completing the above steps, the product is '''ready for operation.''' | ||
'''<u>ATTENTION!</u> IN THIS CASE, THE SOLAR PANEL OF THE PRODUCT MUST BE ORIENTED WITH ITS FRONT SIDE STRICTLY TOWARDS THE EQUATOR (SOUTH IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE OR NORTH IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE) TO SET THE WEATHER VANE TO ZERO* AND TO OBTAIN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SOLAR ENERGY, AS WELL AS TO ENSURE THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR. IT IS NECESSARY THAT THERE ARE NO FASTENING ELEMENTS (BRACKETS) UNDER THE RADIATION SHIELD.''' | |||
'''<u>ATTENTION!</u> ACHIEVE A HORIZONTAL POSITION OF THE PRODUCT BASE USING THE INDICATIONS IN THE “SOKOLCFG” PROGRAM IN THE ‘POSITION’ WINDOW (THE “STATUS” TAB). THE VALUES OF THE LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSAL ANGLE OF INCLINATION MUST BE WITHIN THE RANGE OF ±2 DEGREES.''' | |||
'''<u>Note</u>''' – *The zero position of the wind vane is set when it points in the opposite direction from the front of the solar panel, so when the solar panel faces south, the zero position of the wind vane coincides with north! | |||
