1. Introduction

Wind monitors measure horizontal wind speed and direction. The different models are designed
for different applications (

Table 1-1

(p. 1)). The wind monitors are manufactured by R.M. Young.

Table 1-1: R.M. Young wind monitors models

Model

Description

05103

Standard wind monitor

05103-45

Alpine wind monitor (discourages ice buildup)

05106

Marine wind monitor

05108

Heavy-duty wind monitor that greatly extends service life

05108-45

Heavy-duty wind monitor for alpine applications

05305

High-performance wind monitor for air quality applications

NOTE:
This manual provides information only for CRBasic data loggers. For retired Edlog data logger
support, see an older manual at

www.campbellsci.com/old-manuals

.

2. Precautions

l

READ AND UNDERSTAND the

Safety

section at the back of this manual.

l

The wind monitor is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.

l

Do not use cable lengths greater than 30 m (9 ft) in electrically noisy environments.

l

The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This compound was chosen for
its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, and ultraviolet (UV) degradation.
However, this jacket will support combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when tested
according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use
inside buildings.
