Make sure to install the sensor in a location
free from
anything that obstructs the flow of wind to the sensors within
a 2 meter radius
, for example, the mast head on a boat.
Other important aspects:
- Do not attempt to access the transducers area with your
fingers;
- Do not attempt any modification to the unit;
- Never paint any part of the unit or alter its surface in any
way.
- NOT allowed to be submerged fully or partially in water.
If you have any questions or doubts, please contact us
directly.
6.2. Maintenance and repair
The ULP Pro does not require great maintenance thanks to
the lack of the moving parts in this new design.
Transducers must be kept clean and aligned. Impacts or
incorrect impulsive handling may lead to transducers
misalignment.
The space around the transducers must be empty and
clean. Dust, frost, water, etc... will make the unit stop
working.
The ULP Pro can be wiped clean with a damp cloth being
careful to not touch the transducers.
6.3. Warranty
This Warranty covers the defects resulting from defective
parts, materials and manufacturing, if such defects are
revealed during the 24 months after the purchase date.
Warranty is void in case of non-following the instructions
of use, repair or maintenance without written authorisa-
tion.
Any wrongful use given by the user will not incur in any
responsibility of Calypso Instruments. Therefore, any harm
caused to the ULP Pro by a mistake will not be covered by
the waranty. Using assembly elements different from
those delivered with the product will void the guarantee.
Changes on transducers position/alignment will avoid any
warranty.
