IV. INSTALLING YOUR ULTIMETER 2000 COMPONENTS
Installing the Anemometer
1. Slide the locking ring up as far as it will go on the fingers.
2. Place the anemometer/wind vane over the top of the mast with
all four fingers on the outside of the mast.
3. Slide the clamping ring down over the fingers until you start to
feel significant resistance.
4. Find the North Calibration Mark on the anemometer (this is the
small silver line located near the screw head - see illustration
below). Rotate the anemometer on the mast until the calibration
mark is facing due north. Use a compass or other directional
reference.
Tip: Use a piece of tape to hold the wind vane pointed in the
direction of the silver mark, and use the wind vane pointer to help
to install the anemometer in the correct position. Rotate the
anemometer on the mast until the wind vane points North
(remember to remove tape!).
North Calibration Mark
5. Firmly clamp the anemometer in place by repeatedly pulling the
locking ring down, first a little on one side, then a little on the
opposite side, keeping it more or less level, until you can't pull it
down any further.
6. Using the cable ties provided, secure the cable to the mast.
One tie should be placed just about 2 in. below the
anemometer/wind vane. The other two should be evenly spaced
below that.
