Wind speed reading seems lower than expected  

• Check installation by spinning wing cups. If you get a reading, the wind 

cups are installed correctly. They should spin more freely after an initial 
break-in period of one or two weeks. 

Wind speed reads 0 either all the time or intermittently 

• Make sure anemometer cable is plugged into jack marked WIND on junc-

tion box.

• Check for broken wire along length of anemometer cable. Carefully check 

areas where the cable has been secured.

• Check installation by spinning wind cups. If you do not get a reading, try 

moving the wind cups down about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) on the shaft.

• If you still do not get a reading, the problem is probably with the anemome-

ter. Call factory for return authorization. 

Wind speed reading seems too high or too low 

• Check calibration number and adjust if necessary.

Wind direction reading is dashed out 

• Make sure anemometer cable is plugged into jack marked WIND on junc-

tion box.

• Check for broken wire along length of anemometer cable. Check the areas 

where the cable has been secured carefully. 

• If these steps do not reveal the problem, the problem is probably with the 

anemometer. Call the factory for return authorization.
