Section 7. Operation<br />

10. DC voltage of upper detector greater than 1.5 V. This can be caused<br />

by sun directly shining into lens or a pws fault.<br />

11. DC voltage of lower detector greater than 1.5 V. This can be caused<br />

by sun directly shining into lens or a pws fault.<br />

12. Particle processor is unable to process all particles due to limited time<br />

and buffer resources. Particles are missed and data could be<br />

inaccurate. This alarm may activate when there are 120 or more<br />

particles per second going through the volume, sustained for a period<br />

that fills all available space in the buffers.<br />

13. Particle processor lags real time by more than 5% of the user<br />

requested statistics interval.<br />

14. Particle stripper is unable to process all particles due to limited time<br />

and buffer resources. Particles are missed and data will be inaccurate.<br />

This alarm may activate if there are more than ~150 particles per<br />

second going through the volume.<br />

15. Reserved for future use. Outputs ‘0’.<br />

16. Reserved for future use. Outputs ‘0’.<br />

7.4.1.9 Message Field 25 Fault Status of the <strong>PWS100</strong><br />

This field will output the fault status of the <strong>PWS100</strong>. The value output is from<br />

0 to 4. 0 = no fault, 1 = Possible degraded performance, 2 = Degraded<br />

performance, 3 = Maintenance required, 4 = Laser fault.<br />

7.4.1.10 Message Field 30 External <strong>Sensor</strong> Temperature, RH% and Wetbulb<br />

This field will output the averaged temperature (°C), sampled relative humidity<br />

and averaged wetbulb temperature (°C) calculated over the Message_Interval<br />

defined.<br />

7.4.1.11 Message Field 31 External <strong>Sensor</strong> Maximum and Minimum Temperature<br />

This field will output the maximum and minimum temperature (°C) calculated<br />

over the Message_Interval defined.<br />

7.4.1.12 Message Field 33 External <strong>Sensor</strong> Wetness<br />

This field will output the sampled wetness (0-100%).<br />

7.4.1.13 Message Field 34 External <strong>Sensor</strong> Aux<br />

This field will output the sampled auxiliary sensor output. Such an auxiliary<br />

sensor needs to be defined.<br />

7.4.1.14 Message Field 40 Precipitation Intensity<br />

This field will output the precipitation intensity (mm / hour) calculated over the<br />

Message_Interval defined.<br />

7-11
