Weather Station Is Back Online
[ Monday January 27th 2020 at 11:19 am ]
My weather station is back online. It has been a really challenging repair. The DC voltage regulator short circuited. I've had a bit of a rude wake up call. We are in the midst of winter. This particular winter the temperature has been fluctuating between above and below freezing temperatures. It hasn't been a typical winter.
The electronics give off a bit of heat. This is meeting the cooler winter weather on the edges of the conduit and junction boxes. When that combination gets below the dew point condensation forms. I need to plan out a long term solution to managing the creation of condensation and adding a drain to the electronics.
For now I've changed out the DC voltage regulator. This has allowed my weather station to come back online. I'll need to consult my friend who is a licensed electrician for how to manage these challenges going forward.
