ORIENTING

Note:
The Vantage Pro anemometer leaves the factory ready to be mounted aiming northward. This
procedure is to prepare the anemometer to be aimed any direction other than north.
When you have mounted the anemometer aiming toward the preferred
direction, follow these instructions to re-orient the wind vane to the direc-
tion that the arm is now pointing.
The wind vane is held by a small set screw similar to the one tightened when
installing the wind cups. To remove the wind vane for re-orientation, first use
the Allen wrench to loosen the set screw, then pull the vane directly up and off
the steel shaft on which it turns.
