SKYWATCH® AWS
Air Warning System
Instrucons for use
This instrument consists of 2 or 3 parts, depending on the opons:
A display unit for the wind force, the percentage humidity and the temperature.•
The measurement system:•
Kit 1: • A TrH clip for temperature and humidity and a 15 m cable for use in measuring the wind.
Kit 2 & 4: • A 2 m cable for the temperature and humidity and a 15 m cable for use in measuring the wind.
Kit 3: • A single 5 m cable for measuring the wind, the humidity and the temperature.
SKYWATCH AWS Kit 4 has 4 relays that can be assigned to the dierent alarms.
The SKYWATCH AWS operates from two 1.5 V baeries of type LR6/AA/AM3 (sucient for over 2 years without replacement)and
equally well from an external supply of 6 to 30 VDC (cigar lighter socket, mains power etc.). When an AC-DC adapter is
connected, the baeries are disconnected. If the power fails, the baeries automacally take over.
INSTALLATION
Install the display housing with the xing clamp, sheltered from the rain and from excessive humidity. 1.
Install the sensor with the aid of the aluminium bracket, in an open locaon and suciently far from any wall or any other 2.
obstacle to the wind, to ensure the greatest accuracy for the measurements. The bracket can be used in 2 orientaons
depending on its posion. (See pictures on www.jdc.ch)
Connect the cable to the housing:3.
- Kit 1: Insert the cable connector into the 3-pole socket on the le and the TrH clip into the 5-pole socket on the right.

on the right.
- Kit 3: Insert the plug of the 5 m cable into the 5-pole socket on the right.
- Kit 4: Insert the plug of the 15 m cable into the 3-pole socket on the le and the plug of the 2 m cable into the 4-pole socket
on the right.
Take care not to insert the 3-pole plug into the 5-pole socket as this risks damaging the equipment.
DISPLAY
Before an alarm:
The top line provides for the display of informaon about the wind (instantaneous and alarms 1-2).
The middle line provides for the display of informaon about the humidity
(instantaneous and alarms 3-4).
The boom line provides for the display of informaon about the temperature
(instantaneous and alarms 5-6).
Pressing the buon
+
(even alarms) or
–
(odd alarms) for 2 seconds will display the alarm thresholds. To
return to the current values wait for 10 seconds or press the buon for 2 seconds.
Temperature and humidity are measured every 10 seconds. A short press of the buon will make a
measurement immediately.
During an alarm:
An alarm is acvated 3 seconds aer the threshold is passed for the wind, and 30 seconds for the temperature and humidity. The
alarms are acvated and the symbol
> ALARM <
ashes. When the alarm is acvated, the LED for the corresponding line ashes.
The acousc signal sounds for 1 minute. In the case where the acve alarms are displayed on the same line, the display switches
between the alarms. To acknowledge the alarms, press the buon for 2 seconds.
Remarks:
If the ambient temperature is posive, the display ashes during an alarm.
If the ambient temperature is between 0°C and -10°C, the display no longer ashes but if 2 alarms are acve on the same line,
the display switches from one alarm to the other every 5 seconds.
If the ambient temperature is lower than -10°C, the display does not ash and the switching occurs every 10 seconds when 2
alarms are acve.
Aer an alarm:
The
