6. General information
6.1. General recommendations
Wind Speed Gust is that value that measures abrupt and
sudden change in wind speed.
Regarding mounting the unit, align the north mark of the
ULP towards the north.
Regarding mounting the unit, the mast head has to be
prepared for the mechanical installation. Align the North
mark of the Ultrasonic Ultra-Low-Power to the north. Make
sure to install the sensor in a location free from wind
perturbation, usually on the mast head.
Make sure to install the sensor in a location
free from
anything that obstructs the flow of wind to the sensors
within a 2 meter radius
, for example, the mast head on a
boat.
Other important aspects:
- Do not attempt to access the transducers area with your
fingers;
- Do not attempt any modification to the unit;
- Never paint any part of the unit or alter its surface in any
way.
- NOT allow to be submerged fully or partially in water.
If you have any questions or doubts, please contact us
directly.
6.2. Maintenance and repair
The ULP does not require great maintenance thanks to the
lack of the moving parts in this new design.
Transducers must be kept clean and aligned. Impacts or
incorrect impulsive handling may lead to transducers
misalignment.
