Wire color and functions of sensors purchased through Campbell Scientific may not
correspond with the wire colors and functions given in the manufacturer’s manual. To
ensure proper function, follow the wiring provided in

Short Cut

or in the Campbell

Scientific manual.

l

Wind monitors purchased directly from R.M. Young may not have the 1 MΩ resistor used to
short the readings in the dead band to ground.

3. Initial inspection

l

Upon receipt of the wind monitor, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. File
damage claims with the shipping company. Immediately check package contents against
the shipping documentation. Contact Campbell Scientific about any discrepancies.

l

The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the connection end of the
cable. Check this information against the shipping documents to ensure the expected
product and cable length are received.

The wind monitors ship with:

(1) 1/16 inch hex key wrench from manufacturer (used for bearing replacement)

(1) Bearing gap gauge (spacer) from manufacturer (used for bearing replacement)

(1) Calibration sheet

(1) Ferrite choke from manufacturer

(1) Unthreaded aluminum pipe, 1-inch IPS, 12-inch length

4. QuickStart

A video that describes data logger programming using

Short Cut

is available at:

www.campbellsci.com/videos/cr1000x-datalogger-getting-started-program-part-3

.

Short Cut

is an easy way to program your data logger to measure this sensor and assign data logger wiring
terminals.

Short Cut

is available as a download on

www.campbellsci.com

. It is included in

installations of

LoggerNet

,

RTDAQ

,

PC400

, or

PC200W

.

The following procedure also describes programming with

Short Cut
