READ AND UNDERSTAND the
•
manual.
The wind monitor is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
•
• Do not use cable lengths greater than 30 m (9 ft) in electrically noisy
environments.
• The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This compound
was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, and
ultraviolet (UV) degradation. However, this jacket will support
combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when tested according to
U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its
use inside buildings.
