Wind Monitor Series In Output Setup, enter the scan rate, Data Output Storage Intervals, and meaningful table names. Select the measurement and its associated output options. Click Finish and save the program. Send the program to the data logger if the data logger is connected to the computer.
Wind Monitor Series The wind monitors are manufactured by R.M. Young and cabled by Campbell Scientific for use with our data loggers. Cable lengths for the wind monitors are specified when the sensors are ordered. TABLE gives the recommended cable length for mounting the sensor at the top of the tripod/tower by using a CM200-series crossarm.

Wind Monitor Series Installation If you are programming your data logger by using Short Cut, skip Section 7.3, Wiring , and Section 7.4, Programming . Short Cut does this work for (p. 11) (p. 11) you. See Section 4, QuickStart , for a Short Cut tutorial.
Wind Monitor Series the data logger has been programmed to measure wind direction as described in Appendix C, Wind Direction Sensor Orientation (p. C-1) Use the torpedo level to ensure that the wind monitor is level. Route the sensor cable along the underside of the crossarm to the tripod or tower, and to the instrument enclosure.

Nu-Rail Crossover Fitting 7.2.2 Mounting the Wind Monitor Atop a Tripod Mast The wind monitor mounts on top of a CM106B, CM110, CM115, or CM120 tripod by using the CM216 (see FIGURE 7-3).
Wind Monitor Series Wiring Connections to Campbell Scientific data loggers are given in TABLE 7-1. When Short Cut software is used to create the data logger program, the sensor is wired to the terminals shown in the wiring diagram created by Short Cut.
Replace the potentiometer when the noise or non-linearity becomes unacceptable. The condition of the vertical shaft (vane) bearings can be checked by using R.M. Young’s Vane Torque Gauge. NOTE Campbell Scientific recommends factory replacement of the bearings and potentiometer. Refer to the Assistance page of this document for the procedure of acquiring a Returned Materials Authorization (RMA).
Wind Monitor Series Troubleshooting Wind Direction Symptom: NAN, –9999, or no change in direction Check that the sensor is wired to the excitation and single-ended terminal specified by the measurement instruction. Verify that the excitation voltage and range code are correct for the data logger type.

Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code Into CRBasic Editor Short Cut creates a .DEF file that contains wiring information and a program file that can be imported into the CRBasic Editor. By default, these files reside in the C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder. Import Short Cut program file and wiring information into CRBasic Editor: Create the Short Cut program.
Appendix B. Example Programs The following programs measure the 05103 every 5 s, and store mean wind speed, unit vector mean direction, and standard deviation of the direction every 60 minutes. Wiring for the examples is given in TABLE B-1.
