Wind Monitor Series 

1.  Introduction 

Wind Monitors measure horizontal wind speed and direction.  The different 

models are designed for different applications (TABLE 

1-1

).  The Wind 

Monitors are manufactured by R. M. Young.

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 

www.campbellsci.com/old-manuals 

or contact a Campbell 

Scientific application engineer for assistance. 

2.  Precautions 

 

READ AND UNDERSTAND the 

Safety

 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 

3.1

Ships With

 

(p. 2)

).  Contact Campbell Scientific about any 

discrepancies.
