2.0 GeneralThis instruction manual will guide the user through the different steps to a safe initial operation of themeteorological measuring system SYNMET. Since such a system consists of different components, detaileddescriptions and instructions of all items are written in the furthermore provided manuals. To ensure a safeoperation, we remind you to study all literature carefully before starting.

All installation-work should be done by skilled staff that is familiar with all relevant safety-regulations as well.

This manual describes the most common configuration, consisting of one field station (SYNMET-system andsensors) as well as a modem for the data transmission and a computer for data-filing and -evaluation.

In case of network solutions with more than one SYNMET system and/or computers, all therefore specificsettings and instructions are part of separate documentation material.

Last not least, the software MeteoWare-PRO has to be installed on the computer. For an easy installation andoperation, please refer to the software handbooks, where you’ll also find the necessary hardware-requirements for the computer.

3.0 UnpackingWhen unpacking the boxes, please check the completeness of all items according to the packing-list. Some ofthe items may be of small size: Make sure that no items remain in the boxes!

In general, no special instructions or tools are required for the unpacking-procedure. Carefully remove allitems from the boxes. Coloured labels give helpful advice for some products (e.g. Attention – Glass – Handlewith care).

4.0 Basic configuration of a SYNMET-systemSince all delivered hardware-parts are manufactured ready-to-work, the customer only has to mechanicallyinstall and connect these parts at their desired locations and hook up the data-interfaces and mains.

All jumpers / DIP-switches / potentiometers / etc. are configurated at LAMBRECHT ready-to-work, accordingto the customer's specific requirements. Never attempt to change any of these settings!

5.0 Mechanical installation

Important advice:To prevent accidents and injuries of the installation personnel, make sureto know and obey all local safety regulations when working in dangerousheights.

Normally, the SYNMET-system and the sensors are mast-mounted. According to recommendations ofscientists and meteorlogical authorities, wind sensors have to be installed on top of a 10m-mast (minimumheight: 6 m). All other sensors besides the precipitation gauge – e.g. temperature, relative humidity, pressure,radiation – have to be installed on a cross-arm 2 m above ground-level. The precipitation gauge has to beinstalled on a separate, small pole so that its upper edge is 1,2 m above ground-level. Fix all cables to themast, so that there's no looseness which could lead to malfunctions. Fasten the plugs tightly to the sensors.

If the mast is purchased from LAMBRECHT, fitting mechanical supports for all items will be provided.

Read the accompanying sensor- / accessories- and mast-manuals for additional information.

6.0 Electrical connections

Important advice:To prevent electric shocks when working at the high-voltage circuit, makesure to switch off the mains with a contact-breaker.

6.1. General information

All fuses (located on the left-hand side in the terminal box) have to be replaced by identical spare fuses.Check the equality ofall technical specifications before mounting any spare fuse.

If any cable of the system is longer than 25 meters, an overvoltage-protection has to be used. Please contactthe factory for detailed information about overvoltage-protection parts.

Open the terminal box by loosening the philips-screw on the right-hand side of it. Unscrew all necessary cableglands from the cable entries at the bottom part of the SYNMET-system. Insert the sensor-cables in the samesequence. Special care should be taken when preparing the shields of the cables: A proper mounting assuresgood conductivity and therefore best electromagnetic shielding properties of the entire equipment. The

X:\PmDoku\Geräte\Synmet NAV\englisch\SYNMET MANUALE 1.docSTW Manual Page 9 of 25

SYNMET-IND has to be grounded according to technical standards. See wiring diagrams SWF/SKF for moredetails.

Figure: SYNMET with opened terminal room cover

Figure: Sequence of an EMV cable gland with plastic corpus and the cable shield .

Figure: Termination of the cable

The electrical wiring has to be done according to the individually provided LAMBRECHT wiring plan (marked"SKF ???" or "SWF ????" in its lower right-hand edge). This wiring plan also indicates the used AWG-color-code. Find this plan as an annex to the manuals.

All wiring can be done without tools. To ease the wiring process, all terminal blocks can be removed from theirsockets by simply pulling them upwards. Push the end-slices of each cable into the appropriate green terminalblocks until they are in a secure contact-position (to be tested by gently pulling on the cable). To dismountcables, simply press the orange buttons with a small screw driver, to release the wires from the springs. Theconnecting to ground has to be fastened to the screw at the outer right-hand side of the SYNMET-system.

6.2. Sensors

Most sensors have a screw-connection, some require a fixing by terminal blocks (in this case, a small screw-driver is necessary). Refer to the LAMBRECHT wiring diagram for specific information.

6.3. Data cables

Data cables (4 wires, shielded) have to be connected in the same way as described in chapter 6.1. TheRS 232-interface transmits data via shielded cables up to 25 meters only. For distances up to 1000 meters, astandard converter-modem RS 232 / RS 422 has to be added to the end of the data cable (near the evaluationcomputer). At the SYNMET-system, a corresponding serial port has to be used to hook up the data cable.

See chapter 10.1 for details on the modems.

7.2. Data-transmission test

After having done all previously described tests successfully, the fix installed data cable, converters andmodems should now be checked with the software "FT 50 LITE" in the same way as written above.

8.0 FT 50 LITETo test a SYNMET-system by its serial interface, install the LAMBRECHT test- and configuration-software "FT50 LITE" according to the instructions of the manual "FT 50 LITE" on a computer. The software guides theuser through self-explaining menus.

Connect the SYNMET-system and the computer via the provided SUB-D-cable. This cable is a regular andfully connected "Zero-Modem"-cable (male & female Sub-D-connectors, 9-pole).

Start the software "FT 50 LITE" and save the configuration (including the clock: time and date) of the deliveredSYNMET-system to a floppy-disk. The battery-buffered RAM of the SYNMET-system is able to guard theconfiguration for about 6 months without any external power-supply. Should the configuration be lost becauseof a discharge of the internal battery, use "FT 50 LITE" to reload the saved configuration to the RAM.

Refer to the separate manual "FT 50 LITE" for more information.

The stored configuration file also has to be used after exchanging memory-components (e.g. the CPU-Board).

9.0 Evaluation software "MeteoWare-PRO"Install the LAMBRECHT evaluation software MeteoWare-PRO according to the separate software manual.When choosing the menu "Instantaneous Values" for the first time, the configuration of the station will betransfered automatically to the software "MeteoWare-PRO". Other customer-specific settings have to be madelater on, according to the software manual.

10.0 Options and accessories for SYNMET-IND

10.1. Modems

Standard type

This manual describes the most common measuring system, consisting of one field station e.g. sensors andinterface system as well as a simple RS422/232-converter for the data transmission and a personal computerfor data evaluation. For the data transmission at a shielded cable with at least two twisted pairs is required.The connection of this converter and the accessories and their operation are mentioned in the wiring diagramand the separate manual.

In general this RS 232 / RS 422 modem consists of the following components:

Figure: RS 422/232 converter with accessories

Dialing modem

Also for remote data transmission, dialing modems can be used. Therefore, national/international networkshave to be used as well as internal phone systems of companies or authorities without external access. Thesemodems are linked to a RS 232 port of the SYNMET-system and the local telephone network with access tothe corresponding telephone lines.

For operation, two modes are possible in a way that the request for measuring values a manual operation atthe computer has to be carried out or the system is dialing itself automatically under certain conditions (alarmetc).

Details regarding the installation and the setting to work (initial operation) of these phone-modems aredescribed in separate manuals.

In most countries, LAMBRECHT delivers tested and approved modems together with the system. Due todifferent local telecommunication regulations in some countries, modems could require an approval of thelocal authorities (in these cases they have to be purchased locally).

GSM-Modems

Countries operating a cellular network according to the GSM 900 standard (e.g. the German D1 and D2network) the customer can use a wireless data transmission instead of a cable network.

For the operation, two modes are possible in that way that the request for measuring values a manualoperation at the computer has to be carried out or the system is dialling itself automatically under certainconditions (alarm etc).

Page 15: LAMBRECHT Interface System SYNMET-INDh2069510402k1.catalogus.de/pdf/23/w_synmetind-stw_b-e.pdf · operation, we remind you to study all literature carefully before starting. All installation-work

X:\PmDoku\Geräte\Synmet NAV\englisch\SYNMET MANUALE 1.docSTW Manual Page 15 of 25

To enable a safe transmission, a sufficient field strength at the site is required. The user shall contact his localprovider for more information. The field strength problems should be discussed before purchase. They can besolved by means of directed antennas (Yagi-principle) and booster amplifiers.

The SIM card for the GSM modem and the operation of the whole equipment all has to be organised by thecustomer.

Details of their installation and the setting into operation procedures of these telephone modems aredescribed in separate manuals.

Radio-Modems

Radio modems working on the half-duplex mode will be used at sites with a low level of infra-structure whereno data-cables are available. For a safe transmission, a visible connection between both locations isnecessary.

The equipment is approved by most of the European authorities. According to the restrictions of the localtelecommunication authorities, various types of modems with different power-data and frequencies can bechosen. Details have to be negotiated before ordering the equipment.

Details of their installation and the setting into operation procedures of the radio modems are described inseparate manuals.

10.2. Network solutions

In case of network solutions with more than one SYNMET-system and/or computer, the specific settings andinstructions are part of separate documentation material.

In some of these cases LAMBRECHT may have got an order for the assistance during the setting intooperation procedure of complex network systems. When carrying these works by our company the followingrequirements have to be secured by the buyer:

• presence of the customer’s network administrator

• access to all necessary locations and sites

• staff from the customer eventually available for assistance works

12.0 Meteorological message-formatsGenerating meteorological messages according to the WMO-regulations with the Lambrecht DataAcquisition System "SYNMET"

During the last years professional users of meteorological measuring systems on air fields as well asoperators of official weather stations more and more require fully automated modes and faster evaluations ofthe measuring systems in order to work more cost-effective (minimize manual inputs and to save observationcapacities and costly man power).

Therefore, apart from the standard firmware of our data acquisition system SYNMET, for those customersworking in the professional meteorological field, a special firmware was developed. It is generating codedmessages according to the international standards of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), theInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and domestic weather services like:

• METAR (half-hourly report)

• SYNOP (synoptic observations)

• SPECI (special weather messages)

12.1. NMEA 0183 message-format

Especially for maritime applications (apart from the LAMBRECHT-standard message format) the system cangenerate standardized messages from the following meteorological parameters:

wind speedwind directionair temperaturewater temperaturerelative humiditydew point temperature (calculated by firmware)air pressure

This message format corresponds to the regulations of the "National Marine Electronics Association" (NMEA0183 standard 2.00 or higher).

15.0 MaintenanceAs the system is designed with state-of-the-art electronics, besides visual checks of the tightness of thehousing components, no further maintenance is required.

16.0 Storage and shippingWhen storing the system for a longer time, it should be stored indoors in a dry room with moderatetemperature to prevent damages caused by humidity.

For necessary shipments (e.g. to LAMBRECHT), suitable containers with damping material should be used.

As the memory of the RAM on the CPU board will get lost after a certain time we recommend to load theconfiguration of the system by means of the test and configuration software "FT 50 LITE". The detailed use ofit is described in a separate manual.

17.0 Further technical manualsAs mentioned before, further manuals and literature is available from Lambrecht and is delivered together withthe goods:

• sensors

• masts

• LAMBRECHT evaluation software MeteoWare-PRO

• LAMBRECHT test and configuration software FT 50 LITE
