This manual provides information only for CRBasic dataloggers.
It is also compatible with most of our retired Edlog dataloggers.
For Edlog datalogger support, see an older manual at

or contact a Campbell
Scientific application engineer for assistance.
2. Precautions
•
section at the front of this
manual.
•
The wind monitor is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
•
Do not use long lead lengths in electrically noisy environments.
•
The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This
compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture,
and UV degradation. However, this jacket will support combustion in air.
It is rated as slow burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will
pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.
3. Initial Inspection
•
Upon receipt of the wind monitor, inspect the packaging and contents for
damage. File damage claims with the shipping company. Immediately
check package contents against the shipping documentation (see Section
(p. 2)
). Contact Campbell Scientific about any
discrepancies.
