The 03002 is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care. • If the 03002 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.
(1) Allen wrench QuickStart Short Cut is an easy way to program your datalogger to measure the 03002 and assign datalogger wiring terminals. Short Cut is available as a download on www.campbellsci.com. It is included in installations of LoggerNet, PC200W, PC400, or RTDAQ.

R.M. Young Wind Sentry In the search box under the Available Sensors and Devices heading, type in 03002 or find the sensor in the Sensors | Meteorological | Wind Speed & Direction. Double-click 03002 Wind Speed & Direction Sensor. The wind speed defaults to meters/second.
Overview The 03002 Wind Sentry Set is used to measure horizontal wind speed and direction. Wind speed is measured with a three-cup anemometer. Rotation of the cup wheel produces an ac sine wave voltage with frequency proportional to wind speed.
The 03101 Anemometer and 03301 Vane can be ordered as separate sensors, which are also covered in this manual. These two sensors combined differ from the 03002 only by the absence of a junction box. The R.M. Young 03002 manual (see Section 10, References ) includes additional information on (p.

(20,000 μs) and set any negative wind direction values to 0.0: If WindDir < 0, then WindDir = 0.0. Excitation voltages, range codes, and multipliers for Campbell Scientific dataloggers are listed in TABLE 7-4. Appendix D, Wind Direction Measurement Theory , has additional information on the BRHalf() (p.
Replace the anemometer bearings when they become noisy, or the wind speed threshold increases above an acceptable level. The condition of the bearings can be checked with a paper clip as described in the R.M. Young 03002 manual (see Section 10, References (p.
Disconnect the sensor from the datalogger and use an ohm meter to check the coil. The resistance between the white and black wires for the 03101 and black and red wires for the 03002 should be a nominal 1300 ohms. Infinite resistance indicates an open coil; low resistance indicates a shorted coil.
