Cautionary Statements

The 05103, 05103-45, 05106, 05108, 05108-45 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. The 05103-45 is an alpine version that discourages ice
buildup. The 05106 is recommended for marine applications. The 05108 is a
heavy duty wind monitor that greatly extends service life and the 05108-45 is a
heavy duty wind monitor suitable for alpine applications.
Wind Monitors purchased directly from R.M. Young will be wired
differently and may not have the 1 MΩ resistor used to short the
readings in the dead band to ground.
Before installing the Wind Monitor, please study

Section 4, Quickstart

The Wind Monitor is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care

Do not use cable lengths greater than 30 m (9ft) in electrically noisy
environments.

If the Wind Monitor is to be installed at heights over 6 feet, be familiar with
tower safety and follow safe tower climbing procedures.

Danger — Use extreme care when working near overhead electrical wires.
Check for overhead wires before mounting the Wind Monitor or before
raising a tower.

The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This compound
was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, and UV
degradation. However, this jacket will support combustion in air. It is rated
as slow burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass
FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

Wire colour and functions of sensors purchased through Campbell Scientific
may not correspond with the wire colours and functions given in the
manuacturer's manual. to ensure proper function, follow the wiring provided
in Short Cut or in the Campbell Scientific manual.

Wind monitors purchased directly from R.M. Young may not have the 1 MΩ
resistor used to short the readings in the dead band to ground.
