About this file
The document provided is a Quick Deploy Guide for the WEATHERPAK M weather station system. It outlines the proper placement, tripod setup, INTERCEPT display setup, battery replacement, and usage of the WEATHERPAK M in conjunction with ALOHA plume modeling software. Key details include:
The WEATHERPAK M weather station should be placed at least 30 meters from any steel mass to avoid compass error. The tripod setup involves locking the legs, aligning the weather station with the guide pin, and engaging the cam lock. The INTERCEPT display requires connecting external antennas and power. The WEATHERPAK M data is automatically delivered to ALOHA, which can then model chemical release plumes. The document also provides decontamination instructions and references for the WEATHERPAK M, INTERCEPT, ALOHA, and CAMEO systems. This appears to be a technical guide rather than a solicitation or contract document.

1. Placement To avoid compass error, place the WEATHERPAK®M1 at least 30 meters (99 feet), laterally, from any mass of steel (trucks, buildings, etc). For vehicle mount applications, 3 meters (10 feet) above the vehicle is acceptable.
2. Tripod setup
1. Insert and lock the legs onto the bottom section of the tower, forming the tower tripod base.
2. Align the slot on the WEATHERPAK M with the guide pin on the quick release and push straight in. The cam lock provides a precision sealed fit and may require an extra push to seat the WEATHERPAK M properly.
CAUTION:
DO NOT screw the WEATHERPAK M onto the cam lock connector.

3. Once the weather station is properly seated, press the arms of the cam lock down to assure a tight fit. The battery indicator light (on the tower junction box) should illuminate when the WEATHERPAK M is properly seated into the cam lock.
4. Place the entire unit (upper tower section and WEATHERPAK M) onto the tripod, engage the twist-lock and turn clockwise a quarter turn.
5. The WEATHERPAK M is now running and sampling data. When the WEATHERPAK M is removed from the cam lock connector, it will stop sampling and shut itself off.
3. INTERCEPT display setup
1. Connect the external GPS and radio antennas to the appropriate connectors on the side of the INTERCEPT®2 display.

2. When outputting data to the CAMEO®/ALOHA®3 plume modeling software, connect the USB to serial data cable.
(The Ethernet connection will only be used in rare instances where the INTERCEPT display will be connected to a network).
3. Plug the INTERCEPT display power supply into an AC power source then insert the power supply barrel connector into the power jack on the bottom of the display and tighten.

4. The power indicator light on the bezel illuminates as the display starts up. The INTERCEPT application will automatically launch and begin receiving data from any WEATHERPAK M units available.

5. WEATHERPAK M and ALOHA software The following presents the basic operation of ALOHA with the WEATHERPAK M. Campbell Scientific recommends consulting the ALOHA website and/or a certified CAMEO/ALOHA instructor for training, program details, and limitations.
1. Click the ALOHA desktop icon or select ALOHA from the Windows® Programs menu.
An Air Model Limitations dialog box will appear with important notes on program limitations. Read and click OK.
2. Confirm that your Site Data information provided in the Text Summary window is correct. If required, use the SiteData drop-down menu to change data.
3. Go to SetUp > Chemical and select the appropriate chemical.
4. Select SetUp > Atmospheric > SAM Station to display series of dialog boxes that require user observations or assumptions.
NOTE:
Relative humidity is not captured automatically by the ALOHA model but may be entered manually using data from the WEATHERPAK M display.
5. (Optional) To confirm that WEATHERPAK M data is being delivered to ALOHA, go to SAM Options > Processed Data and the Processed SAM Data window will display the data delivered to ALOHA.
NOTE:
The user gets a warning message in both the Text Summary and Processed SAM Data windows if the WEATHERPAK M has been collecting data for less than five minutes.
6. ALOHA requires the SAM station to be operating for five minutes before selecting the source of release (tank, pipe, direct, etc.). Go to SetUp > Source and select the leak source such as tank. A series of dialog boxes will appear requiring user observations or assumptions.
7. Select Display > Threat Zone and the Level of Concern window will display the default ERPG ranges. Select OK to show the plume footprint.
Displaying the footprint in ALOHA is essential before the plume can be overlaid on a MARPLOT® or other street map.
8. (Optional) Select the Display menu to produce graphs for source strength and concentration.

9. Select the Sharing menu to plot the plume onto a MARPLOT (or other) map. As weather conditions change, the plume size and position will change on the map, shortly after the WEATHERPAK M provides updated data.
NOTE:
MARPLOT software requires that the ALOHA window overlay the map window for the map-plume to update automatically.
