     INTRODUCTION

     This procedure describes the installation of the Climatronics Sonimometer™
     and the Campbell Scientific CR200W datalogger software. This document also
     provides instructions on modifying the datalogger to be recharged using a
     battery or run directly from AC power.
II.    METHOD
     The  Climatronics  Sonimometer™ (Figure  1)  is designed as  a  stand-alone
     sensor to measure the horizontal wind speed  and  direction.  Standard digital
     outputs are RS-232C, RS485, and SDI-12.
                       Figure 1. Climatronics Sonimometer
     11.1.  Instrument Siting

          The sensor head should be installed at least two (2) meters above the
          ground, mounting platform, or rooftop and in an area clear of
          obstructions.

-------
III.   DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES

     No Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) were specifically identified in the Quality
     Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) for wind speed and direction for the School Air
     Toxics Monitoring Program (SATMP).

IV.   EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES

     The following equipment and supplies are required for this field program:

        •  Sonic Anemometer  Climatronics  Sonimometer™ - Part 102779
        •  Datalogger          Campbell Scientific CR200W
        •  Datalogger software PC200W
        •  Copper grounding wire, 7-strand, #8 gauge

     The following are optional  if other mounting equipment and techniques are
     available to raise the anemometer at least 2 meters above the surface and
     clear of obstructions:

        •  Antenna mount tripod
        •  Aluminum masts

     For the optional electrical box (see Section V), the following is needed:
        •  Cord lock, weatherproof 12/3 AWG power cord
        •  Crimpless battery terminal connector side terminals

     Various connectors, such as hanging brackets and nuts, are also required but
     not listed here.

V.   HARDWARE MODIFICATIONS

     Prior to installing the anemometer, one or more of the following hardware
     modifications may be performed to recharge the on-board battery.

     V.1.  Optional Installation of Electrical  Box and Power Cord

     A small battery charger module has been provided to recharge the internal
     battery provided with the anemometer (Figure 2).  An option to permanently
     mount the battery charger inside the anemometer console requires
     modification of the console to allow installation of a power cord and duplex
     electrical connector. A small hole is drilled through the bottom of the console,
     large enough to insert a waterproof strain relief fitting suitable for a power cord
     to enter the console. A receptacle box is  attached to the aluminum back plate
     and a duplex receptacle is inserted and attached to the power cord. The
     Battery Charger is then plugged into the receptacle. (Note: the Battery Charger
     will be held in place when the door to the  console is closed and locked.)

-------
                                            J  T'
         Figure 2. Optional Installation of Electrical Box and Power Cord


     The two clamps attached to the low power leads of the battery charger are
     removed and replaced with terminals compatible with the spare leads provided
     by Climatronics for external power.

     When the battery charger is first turned on the charge indicator should show a
     solid yellow color (see the indicator legend on the battery charger).  Depending
     on the charge status of the battery, this indicator will turn green to indicate the
     battery is fully charged.
VI.   HARDWARE INSTALLATION

     Sufficient cabling is provided with the instrument to locate the sensor head
     about 7.5 meters (25 feet) from the control unit. The sensor head should be
     installed at least 2 meters above the ground and in an area clear of
     obstructions.  Proper orientation of the sensor head with True North is required
     to correctly determine wind direction. A compass (not supplied by EPA)
     should be used to determine magnetic north. The declination can be
     determined using the online National Geographic Data Center's web site
     (http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/declination.shtml). Selecting the link
     "Compute your declination" allows the user to enter the longitude and latitude
     of the location to determine the actual declination. For example, for North
     Birmingham Elementary School, the latitude is 33.56 North and and longitude

-------
     is 86.82 West.  A date of interest is also required with the default being the
     current day. The calculator returns a result of 2° 35' West (Figure 3), which
     means the instrumentation must be rotated by that amount clockwise.  See
     Section 2.5.2.2 in the U.S. EPA's Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution
     Measurement Systems, Volume IV: Meteorological Measurements for
     additional information.

     This correction must be applied before securing the sensor head in place.
       © BGAA's fcotrfrvikjl Data Center -


                    Figure 3. Online Declination Calculation
     To be able to download data from the Datalogger to a computer, a 9-pin serial
     computer cable (not supplied by EPA) must be attached to the serial port of
     the data logger.

     Once all connections have been made and verified, connect the two power
     terminals to the battery. (If the system has been modified to include the battery
     charger, connect the battery charger at this time.)  A red LED on the datalogger
     will blink periodically to indicate that the datalogger is scanning.
VII.  SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

     VII.1. Installing the Campbell Scientific PC200W Software

     Once the datalogger and sonic anemometer are connected and power is
     provided to the datalogger, the system immediately begins recording data.
     The next step is to install the software to collect the data from the datalogger.
     The serial cable used to transfer data from the data logger to the personal
     computer does not need to be connected until the communications test is

-------
  performed. However, connecting the RS232 port on the datalogger to the
  serial port on the computer at this time will not interfere with the software
  installation.

  To start the software installation, insert the Resource CD from Campbell
  Scientific in the CD/DVD drive on your computer.  If the setup wizard does not
  start automatically, use Windows Explorer to navigate to your CD/DVD drive
  and double click on the file named "AutoRun.exe".

  The following steps will install the software on your computer.

1.  At the opening screen, click on "Software" under "Demo and Starter Software"
   on the right side of the screen.

2.  On the second screen, click on "PC200W 3.3" to start the software
   installation.

3.  On the Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard for PC200W, click NEXT.

4.  After viewing the license agreement, click the "I accept the terms of the
   license agreement" radio button and click NEXT.

5.  Choose a destination folder in which to install the software.  You can accept
   the default location or use the "Browse" button to change the destination
   directory. Click NEXT.

6.  Enter a working directory.  You can accept the default directory, which is
   different than the default location in Step 5,  or use the "Browse" button to
   change the destination directory. Click NEXT.

7.  Select a Program Folder for the software. Click NEXT.

8.  A warning will be displayed indicating that all other Campbell Scientific
   applications must be closed.  Click OK when there are no open Campbell
   Scientific applications.

9.  The PC200W software is installed  on your system. This  process takes less
   than a minute to complete on newer personal computers.

10. Once the installation is complete, check the box to add PC200W shortcuts to
   your desktop of you want an  icon on the computer's desktop. Two icons are
   placed on your desktop - an icon to run the software and a device
   configuration utility. Click  FINISH.

11. Close the Resource CD screen  and remove the CD from the CD/DVD drive.


   VII.2  Configuring the PC200W Software

-------
The following steps configure the software to collect and transfer data.

Double click on the PC200W (or the name you gave it in Step 7 above) icon
on your desktop.  If a shortcut to the software was not placed on the desktop,

VIM.  DATA COLLECTION

      Once the software is installed and configured properly and data are being
      recorded in the datalogger, the data can be transferred from the data logger to
      the PC at any time. Connect the datalogger to the personal computer using
      the serial cable. To start the software double click icon the desktop icon (if one
      is present) or select it from the  list of Program Files under the Start menu

      Figure  16 shows the opening screen to monitor and collect data. Since the
      datalogger is already connected to the computer, there is no need to
      reestablish a connection.  For future access and data collection from the
      datalogger, see the Data Transfer section.

Select the Monitor Data tab to view real time data (Figure 17).  For the first
use, the State, County, and Site ID's must be set. To enter those values for
your system, double click on the file to be modified.  When the field is
highlighted in yellow, type in the integer value and press ENTER on the
keyboard. The value is not accepted in the datalogger software if ENTER is
not pressed. The values to be entered have been provided by the U.S. EPA.
Entering a text string results in the letters NAN appearing - Not a Number.
Type in a valid value and  press ENTER.

NOTE: If power should be interrupted to the datalogger between collections,
the site information will be lost (reset to zeroes) and must be re-entered before
collecting the data. Be sure to check those values each prior to collecting the
data.

Do not alter the default fields displayed since the data being collected will be
eventually be uploaded to EPA's Air Quality System (AQS). Any deviation
from the default parameters may result in a failed upload to AQS.

Once the system is operational, data can be transferred from the datalogger to
the computer. That operation is performed under the Collect Data tab (Figure
18). There are several areas on this tab that affect how much data are
collected and where it is stored.

                         Figure 18. Collect Data
In the box labeled "What to Collect", there are two choices. Selecting "New
data from datalogger" will collect data since the last collection. Selecting "All
data from datalogger" will collect all the data on the datalogger. Select the
option to collect New data.

For this program, only the data from the table labeled TableSO needs to be
collected. Make sure the check box next to tableSO is checked. The check
boxes next to Public and Status can remain unchecked.

By default the data are saved to files with the extension .DAT for the initial data
collection.  The data must be saved as .CSV (comma separated values) files.
The process is explained below.

The filename needs to be changed each time the data are collected. For the
initial collection, the default name will  be the datalogger name followed by an
underscore and the table type, as shown in Figure 18.  If the name of the
school was entered for the datalogger name (see Figure 5), then that name
appears in  place of "CR200Series" shown in Figure 18.
                                 16

-------
The naming convention that should be used is dataloggername_mmdd where
datalogger name is the school name and mm is the month represented as an
integer (e.g., July = 07) and cfcf is the day.

To change the location where the data are to be stored, the file type
(extension) and the filename,  highlight the  row for TableSO (failure to do so will
produce a prompt to highlight the file) and click on the Change Table's Output
File.  The standard Microsoft Windows File Open dialog opens. The first time
this button  is used, the folder location is the PC200W folder (Figure 19).
Change this to a folder of your choosing.

Change the extension to .CSV under Save as Type and change the filename
to the convention described above in the File Name. Click on the Save button
to return to the Collect Data tab (Figure 20).  Confirm that the extension was
changed to .CSV before proceeding and make changes if necessary.

To begin the collection process, click on the small blue "Collect" button left of
the Progress bar.

Once the data collection is complete, you can disconnect from the datalogger
using the Disconnect button in the upper left or close the software window.
Doing the latter will generate a message box indicating that the datalogger is
still connected and ask if you want to disconnect and ext. Click on Yes.

The next time data are collected, the open file dialog (Figure 20) displays the
folder where collected data are stored (and not the default PC200W folder).
Also,  the extension .CSV should have been retained by the software, but it is
best to confirm this.

IX.   DATA TRANSFER FROM PC TO EPA

     Once the data are collected, the text file (associated with TableSO shown in
     Figure 20) is to be transmitted each week to EPA for processing. The
     preferred method is to email the text file to Jonathan Miller. His email address
     is miller.ionathan(S)epa.gov. If you do not have access to email or if there are
     problems transmitting the data, he can be contacted at 919-541-7738 to
     discuss how to transmit the data to him.
X.   AUDITS AND CHECKS

     An independent audit will be conducted of the instrumentation at each site
     once during the field program. See the QAPP for more information regarding
     the audit of the wind instrumentation.

XI.   MAINTENANCE

     The anemometer and datalogger unit should be examined for visible damage
     with each site visit.  If damage is noted, EPA should be notified immediately.
     Contact names are  provided in the acknowledgements.

     The anemometer has no moving parts therefore, periodic maintenance is not
     required.  There are no adjustable or user replaceable parts located inside the
     sensor.
