Mounting the wind sensor onto a mast
Mast
Wind-vane
Wind-fan
First, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate freely before mounting the unit. For
correct and accurate readings it is important to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E) is
pointing in East-West direction. The wind sensor should now be mounted using the screws
provided onto a mast to allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all directions
(ideal mast size should be from Ø.63” – Ø1.3”).
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding thermo-
hygro sensor socket so that operating power can be supplied and data can be transmitted to the
base station.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
1. Extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the
units
2. Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents, they
may mark the displays and casings
3. Do not submerge in water.
4. Do not subject the units to unnecessary heat or cold by placing them in the oven or freezer.
5. Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit. Contact La Crosse
Technology for repairs.
