NOR’EASTER
INSTALLATION
PROPER INSTALLATION IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, CONSULT A CONTRACTOR,
ELECTRICIAN OR TELEVISION ANTENNA INSTALLER (CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING SUPPLY
OR HARDWARE STORE FOR REFERALS). TO PROMOTE CONFIDENCE, PERFORM A TRIAL
WIRING BEFORE INSTALLATION.
1. Determine where you are going to locate both the rooftop sensor and the Nor’easter read-out.
There are lugs on the rooftop end of the 2-wire cable and bare ends on
the indoor connection. Run the cable from the indoor read-out, to the
rooftop wind speed generator.
2. Outside, feed the terminal lug end of the 2-wire cable through the
rubber boot and connect the lugs to the brass terminal posts on bottom
of the wind speed generator (polarity does not matter) and secure them
using the brass hex nuts provided in the hardware pack.
(
Important: DO NOT
adjust the hex nuts that are already on the sensor).
3. Slide the straight stub mast through
the rubber boot and insert the mast
into the bottom of the wind speed
generator. Secure the generator to
the straight stub mast using the
supplied cotter pin. Coat all wire
connections with a silicone sealant
and slip the boot over the sensor.
4. Using the two stainless steel hose
clamps, attach the straight stub
mast to an appropriate base mast
NOTE:
For correct wind speed
readings, the generator should be
mounted a minimum of 8 feet above
your roof, as shown in the diagram.
5. Follow the instructions supplied with the antenna mount and secure the
mast to the mount.
6. Secure the cable to the mast with cable ties or electrical tape so that
rubbing on the mast will not damage it. Secure the wire to the house
using cable clips (
DO NOT
staple the cable). Form a drip loop where
the wire enters the hole through an exterior wall. Feed an appropriate
length of cable into the house and caulk the hole when done.
