few hand tools can easily do the job in an hour or two. If you prefer not to install the instrument
yourself, your television serviceman or electrician can do it for you. Regardless of who does the

will shorten the life of the product and impair its performance.

the speed of the wind, and the dial electrically measures this power. The Peak Gust Register circuit
operates 24 hours/day, powered by a small 3-watt AC/DC adapter plugged into a regular household outlet.

directions. The mounting assembly can be adjusted to accommo-
date any roof pitch. The 1" lag screws provided are for wooden
ridge boards; longer 2"x¼" lag screws should be used for asphalt
shingle ridge caps. (The mounting bracket can be super-imposed
over that of the wind direction indicator, aligning the two lag screw
holes, for a simpler and more compact roof installation; Fig. 1.) The
transmitter can be mounted on a chimney, if necessary, using lead
screw anchors, or it can be elevated further on a TV antenna mast

- Page 2 2. Solder and tape one end of the 50' coil of wire to the wire leads from the generator coming out the bottom of the pipe. (If installing the wind direction indicator at the same time, the spare pair of twisted gray wires in the direction cable can be used instead, thus eliminating the need to run a separate wire.) Carefully stapling the wire every foot or so, run it down the building trim to the point on the outside wall opposite the indoor location chosen for the dial.
