Wind Monitors 1. General Description The 05103, 05106, and 05305 Wind Monitor sensors are used to measure horizontal wind speed and direction. The 05305 is a high performance version of the 05103 designed to meet PSD specifications for air quality applications.

1.0” IPS schedule 40 Weight (shipping 3.2 lbs (5.5 lbs); 2.5 lbs (5.5 lbs); approx.) 1.5 kg (2.3 kg) 1.1 kg (2.3 kg) Manufactured by RM Young (Traverse City, MI) and cabled by Campbell Scientific for use with our dataloggers.
Install the propeller to the propeller shaft using the nut provided with the sensor. The 05103 mounts to a standard 1” IPS schedule 40 pipe (1.31” O.D.). A 12” long mounting pipe ships with the 03001 for attaching the sensor to a 019ALU (Figure 3-1), or CM200 series crossarm with the CM220 or PN 1049 (Figures 3-2 and 3-3).

CM220 Right Angle Mounting Kit 4. Wiring Connections to Campbell Scientific dataloggers are given in Table 4-1. When Short Cut for Windows software is used to create the datalogger program, the sensor should be wired to the channels shown in the wiring diagram created by Short Cut.
5. Example Programs This section is for users who write their own programs. A datalogger program to measure this sensor can be created using Campbell Scientific’s Short Cut Program Builder software. You do not need to read this section to use Short Cut.
(optional) using the measured wind speed and direction samples. 5.4 Example Programs The following programs measure the Wind Monitor 05103 every 5 seconds, and store mean wind speed, unit vector mean direction, and standard deviation of the direction every 60 minutes. Wiring for the examples is given in Table 5-3.

05103, 05106, and 05305 R.M. Young Wind Monitors For dataloggers programmed with CRBasic, increase the “Settling Time” parameter of the BRHalf instruction to 20 milliseconds (20,000 microseconds). The 60 Hz rejection option can not be used with the DC CAUTION Half Bridge instruction, when the delay is not zero.

Appendix A. Wind Direction Sensor Orientation A.1 Determining True North and Sensor Orientation Orientation of the wind direction sensor is done after the datalogger has been programmed, and the location of True North has been determined. True North is usually found by reading a magnetic compass and applying the correction for magnetic declination;...
