Before You Install Your Retrofit Kit
1. Backup your data.
The Vantage Connect Retrofit Kit will upload data to the Weatherlink.com
server in intervals. The update interval will be determined by the purchased
data plan. For example, if you are on a 5-minute plan, your upload interval
will be every 5 minutes. If the archive interval of your weather station is set to
a different rate than the upload interval of your data plan, the Vantage Connect
Retrofit Kit will change the archive interval to match the upload interval and
clear all the archive records. If the archive interval is the same as the upload
interval, the Vantage Connect Retrofit Kit will not clear any data in the
weather station.
Before using the Vantage Connect Retrofit Kit, check to see what archive
interval has been set in your WeatherLink software (Setup -> Set Archive
Interval). If the archive interval is not the same as the data upload interval,
you should first download the data to the WeatherLink software before connecting the weather station to the Vantage Connect Retrofit Kit to avoid losing
data.
Note: If you are exchanging a USB data logger for a serial data logger, see Appendix A:
Switching Data Loggers (page 10).
2. Check weather station time and date.
Make sure the time and date on the weather station (console or Envoy) is set
correctly before connecting the station to the Vantage Connect Retrofit Kit. If
the time is not set correctly, use the key pad (console) or WeatherLink software (Envoy or console) to set the correct time.
Tip: To change the time on a console or Envoy, see your instruction manual.
