6.2 Packaging
Whilst the WindSonic is being moved to its installation site, the unit should be kept in its
inner packaging. All the packaging should be retained for use if the unit has to be returned at
any time, or if a self-test is performed.
6.3 Installation requirements
Host system - One of the following:

PC fitted with a suitable interface to match the chosen communication format
(RS232, RS422, or RS485 (point to point), compatible with the WindSonic option
selected,
and a suitable Terminal Emulation software package. For example HyperTerminal for
Windows or Wind Software that is available from the Gill website at
http://gillinstruments.com/main/software.html .

Gill WindDisplay (WindSonic option 2 or 3 only).
 Other equipment with input/output compatibility to the WindSonic Option selected.
For example, Data loggers.
Cable - To connect between the WindSonic and the host system
See Section 7.3.1 Cable type for cable specification.
 There are restrictions on the maximum cable lengths for correct operation.

The cable should be routed up the inside of the mounting tube.
Mounting tube (e.g. 0.5 metre long Gill part 1405-30-056)
 Standard tube 1.75 inches (44.45mm) Outside Diameter x 3mm wall thickness. Note it is
important that the correct diameter tube is used to prevent damage to the
WindSonic lower moulding when tightening the screws.
See Figure 3, Alignment & Mounting Details on page 26.

For non-hostile environments, Aluminium tube can be used.

For hostile environments, you should select a material suitable for the intended
environment. For example, stainless steel 316 for marine use.
