2.8 WIRELESS OUTDOOR ANEMOMETER (WIND SENSOR)
The wind direction is shown by an animated compass display. Its angle can be displayed as
compass points (i.e. NW) or in bearings from the north (i.e. 22.5º).
The upper left of the wind display can be set to indicate the temperature at the anemometer or
the temperature adjusted with a wind chill factor.
The lower left of the wind display indicates the average wind speed for the last 10 minutes, as
well as gust, wind speed alert and gust alert information. It can also show records of the
maximum values of wind speed and gust attained for the current day.
The wind speed and gust alert functions can be programmed to sound if the wind speed or gust
exceeds a pre-configured limit. The wind speed may be displayed in km/h, mph, m/s or knots.
Note: The wind speed alert has a 5 mph hysteresis and the wind gust speed alert has a 7 mph
hysteresis. The hysteresis is to prevent the alerts from sounding constantly due to small
fluctuations near the alert value. This means that after the wind speed reaches the alert value, it
will have to fall below the alert value plus the hysteresis to deactivate the alert.
ACCESSING WIND MODE
Press [ ] or [ ] until the WIND icon on the display starts flashing.
CONFIGURING WIND DISPLAY
Each press of [ SET ] rotates display between:
• Temperature with wind chill, wind direction in bearings
