SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
In normal use, the Pegasus should require very little maintenance.
In the event of any problems, follow the procedures contained in
Section 8: Troubleshooting, to determine whether the components
are defective. If defective and needs to be returned to the factory for
repair, refer to the Return For Repair Procedure in Section 9: User
Support Information.
Control Module
The Control Module contains sensitive electronic components and
should not be serviced by the user. If the LED on the inside circuit
board is not on, check for proper installation of the battery supply
system. Check to see if the fuse on the Control Module board needs
to be replaced. If necessary, replace it with a 1.0 amp 250V fast
acting fuse.
Barometric Pressure Sensor Maintenance
The barometric pressure sensor is located inside the weatherproof
enclosure and should not be serviced by the user.
Temperature Sensor Maintenance
Check the temperature sensor cables during installation and
periodically thereafter to make sure they contain no cuts, kinks or
other abnormalities.
Wind Sensor Maintenance
Do not attempt to oil, grease or otherwise lubricate the wind
sensors. The wind speed and direction bearings are permanently
sealed and should not be tampered with. If it appears that the
displayed wind speed values are substantially less than existing
conditions, or that the wind direction display is sluggish in
responding to changes in wind direction, it may be that the bearings
need service. This can be tested by spinning the sensors. They
should spin freely. If they do not, call the factory for service. All or
part of the wind sensors may need to be replaced. Since the circuit
is molded into the wind sensor housing, an electronic defect
requires replacement of the sensor. The wind sensors are not
designed for field repair.
