020C Wind Direction Sensor
1. Introduction
The 020C Wind Direction Sensor measures azimuth with research-grade
accuracy and precision. Campbell Scientific recommends the 020C for wind
farm power performance research, such as on eighty- and ninety-meter met
towers. The 020C is especially suited to applications requiring a low starting
threshold, a high damping ratio, or a short delay distance.
This manual provides information only for CRBasic dataloggers.
It is also compatible with our retired Edlog dataloggers. For Edlog
datalogger support, see

2. Precautions
•
section at the front of this
manual.
•
The 020C is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
•
If the 020C will be installed at heights over six feet, be familiar with tower
safety and follow safe tower-climbing procedures.
•
Danger
— Use extreme care when working near overhead electrical wires.
Check for overhead wires before mounting the 020C or before raising a
tower.
3. Initial Inspection
•
Upon receipt of the 020C, inspect packaging and contents for damage. File
damage claims with the shipping company.
•
The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the
connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping
documents to ensure the expected product and cable length are received.
