THE REMOTE WIND SPEED SENSOR
The remote wind speed sensor can be mounted two ways:
•
With the use of screws
•
Using nylon straps
•
Using the U-shaped bolt
A.
MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1)
Unlock the mounting bracket from the remote wind speed sensor leaving the wire going
through the bracket.
2)
Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
3)
Through the two screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
4)
Screw the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface.
Ensure that the screws are tight against the bracket.
5)
Slide the remote wind speed sensor onto the bracket
making sure to lock it in place.
B.
MOUNTING WITH NYLON STRAPS
1)
Unlock the mounting bracket from the remote wind speed
sensor leaving the wire going through the bracket.
2)
Place two nylon straps through the slots on the mounting
bracket.
3)
Place the remote wind speed sensor in your desired location.
4)
Fasten the two nylon straps securely around the mounting location.
5)
Slide the remote wind speed sensor onto the bracket making sure to lock it in place.
C.
MOUNTING WITH THE U-SHAPED BOLT
1)
Use the U-shaped bolt provided and thread it through each
of the holder holes.
2) Fix the holder to a mast by using the nuts provided.
III.
THE RAIN SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
1.
Securely mount the rain sensor onto a horizontal surface about 2-3 ft above the
ground and in an open area away from trees or other coverings. (Rainfall may be
reduced causing inaccurate readings.)
2.
When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and store at the base
of the unit but can flow out between the base and the mounting surface (test by
pouring clean water).
3.
After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-hydro sensor at the
corresponding socket so power supply can be received and data be transmitted to
the base station.
Note:
For testing purposes, very slowly pour a small amount of water into the rain sensor
funnel. This simulates the rainfall and rainfall reading will be received and displayed at the
base station for about 2 minute delay. (To clear this data on the base station, refer to the
resetting data section in “
Rainfall Measurement”
)
