Replacing the Impeller
Press FIRMLY on the sides of the black impeller
housing with your thumbs to remove the
entire assembly. When inserting the new
impeller, be sure the arrow is facing the display
side of the unit, and is aligned with the top of
the meter. Press on the sides of the housing
rather than the center.
BEAUFORT SCALE
The Beaufort Scale is a system
for estimating wind force
without the use of instruments
based on the visible effects of
the wind on the physical
environment. The behavior of
smoke, waves, trees, etc., is rated
on a 13 point scale. The scale was
devised in 1805 by the British
naval Commander Sir Francis
Beaufort (1774-1857) and is still
commonly used by mariners.
