9. If the sensor is connected to the data logger, check the output of the sensor
in the data display in LoggerNet, PC400, RTDAQ, or PC200W to make
sure it is making reasonable measurements.
Wind speed is measured by using a helicoid-shaped, four-blade propeller.
Rotation of the propeller produces an AC sine wave signal with frequency
proportional to wind speed.
Vane position is transmitted by a 10 kΩ potentiometer. With a precision
excitation voltage applied, the output voltage is proportional to wind direction.
The R.M. Young Instruction Manual includes additional information on the
operating principles, installation, and maintenance of the sensor.
