Maintenance of wind direction sensor

Check the wind direction sensor regularly for pollution and clean it if necessary. Pollution may cause
the wind vane to be obstructed. Clean the unit with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent if required.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives.
Make sure that no moisture, dirt or dust enters the housing when opening the Wind direction
sensor. This can negatively impact the measurement.
