2. SYSTEM INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting
The head and electronics unit should be mounted in accordance with Drawing Number
1199-K-089.
2.2 Alignment
It is recommended that the head is aligned so that the upper transducer sphere is directly above the
lower transducer sphere. The inclinometer has been calibrated to read zero on both axes when this
position is reached.
2.3 Using the Inclinometer
The data from the inclinometer can be obtained in several ways:
a)
RCOM displays this information at the bottom of the screen
b)
By typing INCL in interactive mode (see Section 6).
c)
By decoding the upper status addresses of the anemometer output message
(see Section 6).
2.4 Corrosion
Galvanic corrosion is possible unless stainless steel fixings are used for mounting the head and
electronics unit. This will ensure that the anemometer will provide long service under extreme
conditions e.g. marine.
2.5 Earthing
For maximum protection against lightning the head must be earthed via its mountings. The
electronics unit and PCI should be earthed using the earth studs provided.
2.6 Cabling
Ensure that strain relief measures are employed when installing the anemometer cables. Do not allow
the whole weight of a cable to be applied to the connector.
