If the sensor must be installed on a roof top, the place of installation must be in the middle of the roof to avoid
predominant wind directions. If you want to measure both wind direction and wind speed, if possible, the sensors
should be mounted at the same measuring point, with any mutual interference of the sensors being avoided. The
wind sensors ARCO-SERIAL and ARCO-NAV easily meet this requirement.
The sensor must not be installed on to, or close to transmitting plants or antennas. A minimum distance of 2 m
is to be kept for interference-free signal transfer.
4.1.2 Ships
For operation on ships you should select a mounting place with little interference from obstacles such as masts,
antennas, and chimneys. In most cases the wind sensor will be mounted on the ship’s highest mast.
For wind measurements on board of ships, the location and height of the wind sensor are important for
representative and accurate measuring results. The sensors should be ideally located on the top of the
mast, without any influence from obstacles. If this is not possible, the sensors should be installed on a mast
traverse of at least 1.5 m length, on the port side of the ship.
4.2 Tools and installation material
There are no special tools or materials required for installation or maintenance. All work can be carried out with
standard tools available in a regular workshop.
4.3 Unpacking the sensor
The sensor is packed in a separate box, carefully protected against mechanical influences, in order to avoid damage
during transport. When securely installed, the sensor can withstand shock and vibration, which normally occurs on
ships. Please verify that the following parts and documents are enclosed:
•
Wind sensor ARCO
•
User manual
Accessories: (depending on order size, packed separately)
Connection cable with cable plug and cable core ends
4.4 Incoming inspection
Please thoroughly check the delivery with regard to completeness and eventual transport damages. In case of
eventual claims please contact us in writing immediately.
