Answer 2

To set up an Envirastation, you should follow the manufacturer's specific instructions provided in the user manual. Usually, this includes assembling the station, ensuring it has power and is connected to the appropriate sensors, calibrating the sensors if necessary, and then inputting any required settings or parameters. It is important to pay attention to details and follow the steps precisely to ensure accurate data collection.

Here is a copy of my instructions

EnviraStation DWS-150 Atomic Clock The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz AM radio signal) with

an accuracy of 1 second per every 3,000 years. The signal will cover a

distance up to 2,000 miles from the source. Like a typical AM radio, your

Atomic Clock will not able to receive the WWVB signal in places

surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. The reception of the time

signal can be affected by mobile phones, TV, electrical appliances or other

electronic interference. To get the best performance of the Atomic clock,

please install the home receiver near a window and away from large metallic

objects. If the unit is not working properly, change the unit position. There

may be some interference at this location.
