1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the ATMOS41W from METER Group. The ATMOS41W is part of the

ZENTRA System, a collection of data loggers, software, and compatible sensors to measure

environmental parameters accurately and cost effectively.

The ATMOS41W All-in-One Wireless Weather Station is designed for continuous monitoring

of environmental variables, including all standard weather measurements (Section3). The

ATMOS41W measures the following:

• Solar radiation

• Precipitation

• Precipitation electrical conductivity

• Relative humidity / Vapor pressure

• Barometric pressure

• Air temperature (min, max, average)

• Wind speed

• Wind direction

• Maximum wind gust

• Tilt

All sensors and wireless cloud communications are integrated into a single, small

form-factor unit, requiring minimal installation effort. A robust design that prevents

errors because of wear or fouling make the weather station ideal for long-term, remote

installations. ATMOS41W can be used for a variety of applications:

• Weather monitoring

• Microenvironment monitoring

• Spatially-distributed environmental monitoring

• Crop weather monitoring

• Fire danger monitoring

• Weather networks

Additional advantages include its low-power design that supports the integrated battery-

operated wireless cloud communication that uploads data straight to ZENTRA Cloud. A tilt

sensor warns the user of out-of-level condition, and no configurations are necessary.

INTRODUCTION

Prior to use, verify all ATMOS41W system components are included and appear in good

condition.

• ATMOS41W

• V-bolt with 2 washers and 2 nuts

• 13-mm (1/2-in) wrench

• 8-mm (5/16-in) wrench

• ZENTRA Cloud Device Subscription information (orange card)

• 6 AA batteries, installed (NiMH rechargeable)

When evaluating where to install the ATMOS 41W, METER recommends verifying adequate

cellular signal for the chosen location. The cellular signal must be strong enough for data to

be transmitted to ZENTRA Cloud.

2. OPERATION

Please read all instructions before operating the ATMOS41W to ensure it performs to

its full potential. Prior to field installation, please verify all ATMOS 41W components

arrived intact.

Please carefully follow the information in Power On and Connect With ZENTRA Utility

Mobile on page 4 and Add ATMOS 41W toZENTRA Cloud on page 7 (Table1)

before taking the device into the field for installation. Test the ATMOS41W sensor and

communications functionality in a lab or office prior to field installation to verify the

correct operation of the system.

When moving the device to the field, follow Field Site Preparation on page 10 to ensure a

successful installation.

PRECAUTION

METER sensors are built to the highest standards, but misuse,improper protection,or improper installation may

damage the sensor and possibly void the manufacturer’s warranty. Before integrating the ATMOS41W into a system,

make sure to follow the recommended installation instructions and have the proper protections in place to safeguard

sensors from damage.

2.1 INSTALLATION

Follow the steps listed in Table1 to set up the ATMOS41 and start collecting data.

CAUTION

Never immerse the ATMOS41W in liquids.This and other misuse, improper protection,or improper installation may

damage the ATMOS41W and void the warranty.

Table1 Installation

Tools Needed

Wrench 13 mm (0.51 in) and 8 mm (0.31 in) (included with the instrument)

Mounting pole 31.80 to 50.80-mm (1.25 to 2.00-in) diameter

Smaller mounts are compatible if washers are added to the V-bolt. United

States standard pipe sizes that are compatible are 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50-in.

Square tubing with a width of 1.25 to 2.00-in or T-posts can also work as

mounting options.

Software

ZENTRA Utility Mobile using Apple®iPhone®(iOS 11.0 or newer) or Google

AndroidTM smartphone (Android 7.0 or newer). For best results, use the latest

versions of ZENTRA Utility Mobile software and ATMOS 41W ﬁrmware.

ZENTRA Utility Mobile will prompt with available updates for software and

ATMOS41W ﬁrmware. Consult Section5.6 for more troubleshooting tips.

Preparation

Verify Cellular Signal

METER recommends verifying that the chosen location has adequate

cellular signal.

The cellular signal must be strong enough for data to be transmitted to

ZENTRA Cloud.

Data Access

Data are accessed online via ZENTRA Cloud, a web application used to

download, view, and share data as well as to change conﬁgurations.

The ATMOS 41W requires a paid subscription to use ZENTRA Cloud.

Save the orange Device Subscription card included with the ATMOS 41W in a

safe location. This card contains the following information for the subscription:

• Device serial number

• Password

• Server name/address where sensor data is stored.

Remove Rain Funnel

Press the rain funnel down to compress the internal spring. Twist the

funnel counter-clockwise to unlock from the ATMOS41W base as shown in

Section3.2.4.

CAUTION

The rain funnel is connected to the ATMOS41W by a wire to the main unit—DONOT

disconnect the wire.Carefully move the rain funnel to the side,keeping the wire connected.
