NOTE:
For proper wind speed measurement ensure the vertical joining section is at 90º the horizon
(Fig.A).
Horizontal Mounting
Cable Preparation for Horizontal Mounting
1. Run the cable that is already fastened to the wind sensor through the horizontal joining section (see below).
2. Run the cable through the extension pole but do not secure the pole to any sections yet.
3. Now run the cable through the top of the base-bracket and then through the small rectangular section found
on one side of the base-bracket.
NOTE:
Make sure that you completely pull the cable through the wind sensor's extension pole and base-bracket to
reduce the amount of slack on the cord.
Horizontal mount - using a mast/antenna/pole
NOTE:
It is not recommended to secure the wind sensor horizontally from a wall or chimney because doing so will
interrupt the flow of wind from at least one direction.
MOUNT WITH "N" FACING NORTH:
For accurate readings , it is important to mount the wind sensor so that the "N" (north) on the casing is facing the
correct direction (north). If necessary, use a standard compass to determine north.
1. Make sure that the wind vane can rotate freely before fastening the unit permanently.
2. Using the 2 x U-bolts, 4 x nuts and 4 x washers, secure the base-bracket of the wind sensor to a stable mast/
antenna/pole. (Masts made of magnetic materials, such as lead or other dense metals will cause faulty readings).
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the pole insert of the base-bracket is facing north (
N
) and pilot holes are on the top
AND bottom.
3. Use the extension pole provided to distance the wind sensor from the stable mast/antenna/pole. Insert one end
of the extension pole into the base-bracket.
4. Secure the connection point of the pole extension and base-bracket using the 0.25" screws provided to prevent
rotation at joining point. (Use the 4 x 0.25" screws to ensure stability).
5. Insert the pole extension into the horizontal joining section. (Ensure that you pull all cable slack through the side
of the base-bracket to prevent creasing or cutting the cable).
6. Secure the horizontal joining section to the mount pole using the 0.25" screws provided to make sure that the
pole connections does not rotate.
