5. Wire according to the wiring diagram generated by SCWin Short Cut.
Wind speed is measured with a helicoid-shaped, four-blade propeller. Rotation of
the propeller produces an AC sine wave signal with frequency proportional to
wind speed.
Vane position is transmitted by a 10 k potentiometer. With a precision
excitation voltage applied, the output voltage is proportional to wind direction.
The R.M. Young Instruction Manual includes additional information on the
operating principles, installation, and maintenance of the sensor.
Table 6-1, Table 6-2 and Table 6-3 provide the wind speed, wind direction and
physical specifications, respectively.
Features:

Rugged enough for harsh environments

Constructed with thermoplastic material that resists corrosion from sea-
air environments and atmospheric pollutant

Ideal for wind profile studies

Compatible with the LLAC4 4-channel Low Level AC Conversion
Module, which increases the number of anemometers one datalogger can
measure

