The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene
®
rubber. This
compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes,
moisture, and UV degradation. However, this jacket will support
combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when tested according
to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may
preclude its use inside buildings.
7. Installation
7.1 Siting
Locate wind sensors away from obstructions (for example, trees and building).
Generally, there should be a horizontal distance of at least ten times the height of
the obstruction between the windset and the obstruction. If the sensors need to be
mounted on a roof, the height of the sensors above the roof, should be at least 1.5
times the height of the building. See Section 10,
References , for a list of
references that discuss siting wind speed and direction sensors.
7.2 Assembly and Mounting
Tools Required:

5/64 inch Allen wrench

1/2 inch open end wrench

compass and declination angle for the site (see Appendix C)

small screw driver provided with datalogger

UV resistant cable ties

small pair of diagonal-cutting pliers

6 – 10 inch torpedo level
Install the propeller to its shaft using the nut provided with the sensor.
The Wind Monitor mounts to a standard 1 inch IPS schedule 40 pipe (1.31 inch
O.D.). A 12 inch long mounting pipe ships with the Wind Monitor for attaching
the sensor to a CM200-series crossarm with the CM220 (Figure 7-1) or 008285
Nurail® fitting (Figure 4-1 in Quickstart section). The 05103 can also be mounted
to a CM110 series tripod mast with the CM216 Mast Mounting Kit (see Figure
7-2).
Mount the CM200-series crossarm to the tripod or tower. Orient the crossarm
North-South, with the 1 inch Nurail® or CM220 on the North end. Appendix C
contains detailed information on determining true north using a compass and the
magnetic declination for the site.
Secure the mounting pipe to the Nurail® or CM220. Place the orientation ring,
followed by the Wind Monitor on the mounting pipe. Orient the junction box to
the south, and tighten the band clamps on the orientation ring and mounting post.
Final sensor orientation is done after the datalogger has been programmed to
measure wind direction as described in Appendix C.
Route the sensor cable along the underside of the crossarm to the tower/tripod
mast, and to the instrument enclosure. Secure the sensor cable to the crossarm and
mast using cable ties.
