FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. My system isn't a weather station, can I still use this facility?
 Although this site is called 'Weather-Systems' your system need not be a weather station. any remotely located data logging equipment and their attached sensors can be configured for use with this system.
 
2. I don't have any equipment but I need to get some and would like it to be compatible with this system, how can you help?
We can either refer you to a suitable supplier, or provide you with a complete system. Either way, it would be better if you call us so we can discuss your exact requirements.
 
3. I am having trouble setting up my units, how can you help?
Give us a call or drop us an email and we'll do it for you. The web interface is pretty robust, but occasionally it can get confused. It is likely that any issue is due to the parameters that you have submitted rather than the web site failing, so if you call us we can put you back on course.
 
4. I have compatible equipment but it doesn't have a modem. What do I need to get started, and how much will it cost?
You will need either our IP package or our GSM package. the low cost option is for GSM, and varies depending on your system from £300 to £600 Excl VAT, plus installation if required.
5. My system is stand-alone and powered by solar energy, how will the GSM impact on my power consumption and will I need to upgrade?
It really depends on what you want the Weather Systems facility to do for you. If we know what capability your system has we can restrict the system to ensure that the power integrity is maintained. If you want a high access capability we can upgrade the solar powered system for you, or provide you with the components for you to do it yourself.
We will add to this page in future, so keep coming back.
