2.0 INSTALLATION
NOTE: Save all sensor packaging. During future maintenance, it will be very handy for
supporting the sensor and avoiding handling damage. Also, use during shipment for
recommended factory servicing.
2.1 INSTALL VANE
A. Insert the vane tail shaft into the hub. Make sure the shaft is fully seated at the
bottom of its hole, which will replicate factory balance.
B. Rotate the vane so that H aligns with the axis of the sensor body.
C. Tighten the set screw using the 5/32” Allen wrench (provided) to secure the vane
tail in the hub.
2.2 SENSOR INSTALLATION & ORIENTATION
A. Install the sensor into the alignment adapter. The socket head screw will pass
through the adapter and will tighten into the sensor housing.
B. Place the sensor with adapter onto top of the tripod mast or in the fitting on the
cross arm.
C. Rotate the entire sensor until the vane points to “TRUE NORTH”. The use of
transit/compass will assure accurate alignment when the magnetic correction to
true has been established.
D. When the sensor is properly aligned, tighten the adapter set screw using the
5/32” Allen wrench. By removing the socket head screw in the adapter, the
sensor may be removed and replaced without realignment.
E. Remove and retain the alignment adaptor and screw from the vane hub. Check
to see that the vane assembly rotates freely.
F. Connect the cable to the sensor. Route the cable to the data recording device.
Secure the cable with cable ties or tape. The cable assembly contains 5 wires.
Typical wiring hookup shown in section 2.3.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Weather sensors are sensitive to direct or nearby lightning strikes. A well-grounded metal rod or
frame should be placed above the sensor installation. In addition, the shield on the signal cable
leading to the translator must be connected to a good earth ground at the translator end. The
cable route should not be vulnerable to lightning.
