I. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting The
ULTIMETER
100 Weather
Station. To take full advantage of its advanced features,
please take a few minutes to read through and follow this
short booklet. Its simple step-by-step instructions will speed
you through system installation and help assure you many
years of complete satisfaction.
SUGGESTION: DO NOT UNCOIL CABLES UNTIL YOU
HAVE TESTED AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL
COMPONENTS AND ARE READY TO INSTALL THE
SYSTEM.
IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING WIND DIRECTION:
The
ULTIMETER
100
is designed to detect and display the
prevailing wind direction on its 16 point compass rose. The
system minimizes confusing "jitters" by ignoring momentary
direction changes that occur during transient wind gusts. It
also avoids erroneous readings, by "locking" the direction
display when there is no wind, i.e. when the cups are not
spinning. Therefore, in order to test or demonstrate the wind
direction function, you must spin the cups. You'll find it is
best to blow somewhat steadily on the cups, rather than
abruptly spinning the anemometer housing with your fingers.
The current wind direction in degrees (
°
) is displayed by
pressing the
key twice (the first press displays the
current wind speed). Pressing the
key again returns the
display to the current wind speed.
