instrument arm. The ‘V’ channels should be facing away from instrument.
3. Place the two ‘U’ bolts through the bracket. The ‘U’ should mate with the ‘V’ on the bracket.
4. Place one washer then one M6 nut on each thread.
5. Next place one white spacer over each thread.
6. The adapter plate is next placed over the threads taking care that the box faces outermost with
the wires coming out of the bottom of the box.
7. Lastly, place one washer, one M6 nut and one end cap over the ends of each thread.
8. The complete assembly can now be slid over the top of the mast.
9. IMPORTANT. The instrument body has an ‘N’ printed on the side. Using a compass, align the ‘N’ so
that it is pointing NORTH.
10. When the sensor is in this position, it will be measuring wind coming FROM a northerly direction.
11. The M6 nuts can now be tightened to secure the assembly to the mast.
12. Plug and screw up (do not overtighten) the sensors connectors into the DataHog or MiniMet
logger sockets marked WIND SPEED and WIND DIRECTION respectively.
13. Use plastic cable ties to prevent cable movement and damage from rubbing.

1. As this assembly is best sited as high up the mast as
possible, without causing interference to any of the
other instruments, it is easier to assemble the instrument
and bracket first and then slide it over the top of the
mast and secure.
2. Plug and screw up (do not overtighten) the cable to
the bottom of the instrument.
3. Slide the adapter collar over the cable and up to the base of the instrument, being careful to
align the three Allen screws in the instrument case with the three holes in the collar.
4. Tighten each Allen screw just enough to hold the collar in place.
5. Pass the cable through the supplied short section of tube.
