5.7 Wind Sensor Mode Warning
The state of the current loops is indicated at all times at the top of the program. When the FT702LT/D is in
communication with a computer it is in a digital mode and the current loops are disabled. If the sensor is
disconnected from the computer with the current loops disabled, the sensor will remain in this digital mode
and the current loops will not work. The FT702LT/D Set-Up and Test Program can be used to change
settings and check that the sensor is working but before unplugging the sensor the
Disconnect
button must
always be pressed first. The current loops state will then change to be re-enabled as indicated at the top of
the program. Once indicated, it is safe to exit the program and disconnect the sensor.
If a sensor has not been taken out of digital mode then open the Set-up and Test Program, re-connect the
sensor and click on the
Connect
button. The current loops should now be enabled as indicated at the top of
the program. Click the
Disconnect
button, close the Program and then disconnect the sensor. The sensor
will now be back in analogue mode.
Never unplug the wind sensor while the Set Up and Test Program is running as this may
leave the current loop outputs disabled. Always click on the Disconnect button and then
exit the Set-Up and Test Program before unplugging or powering down the FT702LT/D.
