PROPER INSTALLATION IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, CONSULT A CONTRACTOR, ELECTRICIAN
OR TELEVISION ANTENNA INSTALLER (CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING SUPPLY, OR HARDWARE STORE
FOR REFERRALS). TO PROMOTE CONFIDENCE, PERFORM A TRIAL WIRING BEFORE INSTALLATION.

Secure the sensors and stub masts to your antenna mast (not supplied) with
the two hose clamps. Align the wind-direction Z-mast arm to true North.
Radio Shack and similar stores have a selection of tall masts and roof
mounting brackets. Choose a mount that best suits your location and
provides at least eight feet of vertical clearance above objects on the roof.

When connecting the wind direction sensor
to the Z-mast, make certain that terminal #4
is aligned with the Z-mast arm. If the sensor
is not installed in this manner your wind
direction readings will be incorrect.

When Merlin first starts up it will perform a brief self-test and then go to the "Present" function mode. SCREW Reset all memory functions (see operating instructions). Resetting gives Merlin a fresh starting point for your reference. ShopAEMC Page 2 www. -

Questions and answers
My device hasn't moved off 0 for several days. The receptor is on the roof, and because I lost my husband recently, he is not here to examine it up there.
If the Maximum Merlin device is not moving off 0 for several days, possible causes include:
1. Faulty wind sensor or wiring: Check the sensor and wire by disconnecting the black and white wires from the back of the indicator and measuring resistance with an ohmmeter. A correct reading should be between 500 and 1,000 ohms. If the reading is outside this range, the sensor or wire is faulty.
2. Indicator fault: If the ohmmeter reading is correct, then the indicator itself may be at fault.
3. Improper sensor installation: If rooftop sensors are not mounted at least 8–10 feet above the highest object on the roof, wind turbulence can affect readings.
4. Power issues: If the AC adapter is not correctly connected or if there was a power outage, the display could be blank or incorrect. Try resetting by unplugging the AC adapter, waiting 15 seconds, and plugging it back in.
These checks can help identify the source of the problem.
