DYACON Quick-start Guide MS-100 Introduction
1.0 MS-100 Introduction
1.1 Scope
This document is an abbreviated description of station setup and configuration. Refer to the
detailed sections in this manual or to sensor documents for further information.
The information contained in this manual is advisory only. Users are responsible for their own
safety and the installation requirements for their application.
Dyacon meteorological (met) stations are based on a control unit, or data logger, that acts as the
“brains” of the weather station. All sensors, power, and I/O devices connect to the control
module (CM).
CM-1 is a component of MS-100 series weather stations with several preconfigured version:
MS-120, MS-130, MS-13 , MS-140, and MS-1 0. These stations differ principally by the
sensors that are pre-configured with the control module. Users may add, remove, or replace
sensors as their needs change.
This manual briefly covers site selection, station assembly, and general operation of CM-1.
Detailed information is provided in the respective product manuals.
Users should download the CM-1 Weather Station Control Module manual from Dyacon.com.
The manual is located in the documents section of the weather stations or controller page.
Videos are also available demonstrating the assembly and configuration tasks.

*Absolute air pressure is normalized to mean sea level. Altitude is required for this calculation.
Leave at zero (0) for absolute air pressure reported to Weather Underground and SMS text

⸸ DyaconLive is a webportal for Dyacon weather stations that charts measurement data and
operational parameters of the weather station. Contact Dyacon for your unique login.
** Feature implementation not required. See the respective section for more information on the
feature.
Users may find it convenient to configure the controller on the bench before placing it in the
field. To do so, merely plug in the battery and operate the unit without sensors attached.
Everything but, Set North, can be done on the bench.

Mechanical Setup and Installation DYACON Quick-start Guide
3.1.2 Mechanical Setup and Assembly Summary
The following is a summarized setup procedure. Videos are available at Dyacon.com
1. Erect Dyacon Tripod-1 with only one mast segment in place.
2. Loop guy cables over top of mast.
3. Assemble WSD-1 vane.
Remove the Vane axis screw.
Insert the vane and counter weight with the end
pointing away from the set screw hole.
Insert and tighten the axis screw.
4. Attach WSD-1 to top of mast.
Orientation does not matter. The North alignment
position will be set electronically, see step 20.
. Attach crossover to the top of the center mounting pipe (tripod hub) and secure with two
band clamps.
The solar module mounting bracket can be secured on the opposite side of the pipe with the
same band clamps as used for the crossover. The solar module bracket should be positioned
toward the south, if in the northern hemisphere or toward the north if in the southern
hemisphere.
6. Attach CM-1 enclosure below the crossover using two band clamps.
7. Insert pipe into horizontal fitting of the crossover and tighten with two band clamps.
8. Fit TPH-1 onto end of horizontal pipe and tighten band clamp.
9. Attach solar sensor (pyranometer) to bracket. (Optional sensor.) The cable leaving the solar
sensor should be directed to the north.
10. Attach solar sensor bracket to TPH-1 by removing two wing nuts.
11. Seat solar power module onto mounting bracket.
12. Place soil moisture sensor and soil temperature sensor into ground and desired depth.
13. Bury rain gauge pipe.
14. Mount rain gauge to top of pipe.
15. Remove the rain gauge top and remove the rubber band securing the tipping
mechanism.
16. Open the control module by loosening the two front cover screws.
17. Feed each sensor cable through cable glands at the bottom of the enclosure and attach to
respective terminals.
18. Plug in the battery connector to the control module connecter. (For cable-powered systems,
attach 7 VDC to 24 VDC to the Battery connector.)
19. Attached the solar module to the solar power input.
20. Set North position on the wind vane before raising mast. (See instructions in 3.1.3.)
21. Attach cable ties to WSD-1 while raising the tripod mast to full height.
22. Bundle excess cable on the outside of the enclosure.
23. Secure cables with cable ties so that they route adjacent to the tripod structure.
24. Configure control module as required. (See the following section.)

Press Select to set the position as 0 degrees.
North Set
Continue holding the vane in the north position to validate the setting.
The display will show “North Set” momentarily, then return to the configuration page.
>Set New North
Clear Setting
Pressing Cancel twice will exit Setup mode and return to Acquisition mode.
By paging down one position, users will see the direction. The wind direction should show a
value near 0 or 360 deg.

Wire Connections DYACON Quick-start Guide
.0 Wire Connections
CM-1 utilizes pluggable terminal blocks. These connectors may be unplugged from the circuit
board and wired in a convenient position using a slotted screw driver.
4.1 Wire Stripping and Mounting
Wires should be stripped to about 7 mm (0.25 inch).
Care should be taken to ensure that there are no loose
strands when inserting wires.
Screw terminals should be firmly tightened and
checked as part of a routine maintenance program.
