Initial Inspection Upon receipt of your shipment, immediately open the shipping carton and ensure that you have all of the 27106T’s components. If an item is not initially visible, remove the foam from the shipping carton and thoroughly inspect both sides of the foam for the item.
27106T Vertical Propeller Anemometer QuickStart Short Cut is an easy way to program your datalogger to measure the 27106T and assign datalogger wiring terminals. Short Cut is available as a download on and the ResourceDVD. It is included in installations of www.campbellsci.eu...

27106T Vertical Propeller Anemometer Under the Available Sensors and Devices list, select the Sensors | Meteorological | Wind Speed & Direction folder. Select 27106T Wind Speed Sensor and click to move the selection to the selected device window. The units default to meters/second, which can be changed by clicking the Wind Speed box and selecting one of the other options.
27106T’s signal and converts the signal to engineering units (mph, m s , knots). The 27106T is manufactured by R.M. Young (Traverse City, MI) and cabled by Campbell Scientific for use with our dataloggers. The R.M. Young instruction manual includes additional information on the operating principles, installation, and maintenance of the sensor.
6-inch to 10-inch torpedo level • Mount the 27106T to a tripod or tower using the tools listed above: Mount a Campbell Scientific crossarm to a tripod or tower. Remove the nut that is on the top of the propeller shaft (FIGURE FIGURE 7-2).
Route the sensor cable along the underside of the crossarm to the tripod or tower, and to the instrument enclosure. Secure the cable to the crossarm and tripod or tower using cable ties.

27106T Vertical Propeller Anemometer Programming Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date datalogger programming code. Programming code is needed when: • Creating a program for a new datalogger installation • Adding sensors to an existing datalogger program If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and maintain a datalogger program exclusively with Short Cut.
Assistance information. Maintenance Given proper care, the 27106T should provide years of service. Components are conservatively rated and require little maintenance. The only parts likely to need replacement due to normal wear are the precision ball bearings and the tach-generator.
27106T Vertical Propeller Anemometer If the bearings need to be replaced, have either Campbell Scientific or a qualified technician replace them by using the following procedure: Remove old bearings: Remove propeller from anemometer. Unthread and separate shaft housing assembly from generator housing.
27106T Vertical Propeller Anemometer Unthread generator housing collar. Pull generator housing away from sensor connector and generator assembly. Note position of generator wires on sensor connector pins. Unsolder wires from pins and remove old generator assembly. Install new generator assembly: Solder wires from new generator assembly onto proper sensor connector pins.
Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code Into CRBasic Editor This tutorial shows: How to import a Short Cut program into a program editor for • additional refinement • How to import a wiring diagram from Short Cut into the comments of a custom program Short Cut creates files, which can be imported into CRBasic Editor.
Appendix B. Example Program The following program measure the 27106T every second, and store the maximum, minimum, and average wind speed every 10 minutes. Wiring for the examples is given in TABLE B-1. TABLE B-1. Wiring for Example Program Colour...
