5. Wire according to the wiring diagram generated by SCWin Short Cut.
5. Overview
Wind speed is measured with a helicoid-shaped, four-blade propeller. Rotation of
the propeller produces an AC sine wave signal with frequency proportional to
wind speed.
Vane position is transmitted by a 10 k

potentiometer. With a precision
excitation voltage applied, the output voltage is proportional to wind direction.
The R.M. Young Instruction Manual includes additional information on the
operating principles, installation, and maintenance of the sensor.
6. Specifications
Table 6-1, Table 6-2 and Table 6-3 provide the wind speed, wind direction and
physical specifications, respectively.
