Model 2030 Micro Response Anemometer User's Manual 1. INTRODUCTION The Model 2030 Micro Response Anemometer is a highly responsive three-cup anemometer that uses a photon-coupled chopper to produce an output pulse with a frequency proportional to wind speed. • The threshold of the anemometer is 1 mile per hour.
2.1 ASSEMBLY With the exception of installing the cup assembly, the Model 2030 Micro Response Anemometer is ready for mounting. Install the cup assembly as described in the steps below. Loosen the two set screws with a 1/16" Allen wrench, and slide the cup assembly over the anemometer shaft.
Crossarm without any additional accessories. The crossarm is generally used to mount one each Model 2030 Anemometer and a Model 2020 Vane to form a wind speed and direction measurement set. If the Model 2030 Anemometer is to be mounted separately, a Model 20231 Mast Adapter should be ordered as an accessory.
Model 2030 Micro Response Anemometer User's Manual 2.5 WIRING Figure 1 shows the sensor wiring when connecting to the Model 1190 DCP, as used in AWOS systems. Cable number 20306 can be ordered from All Weather, Inc. for direct connection. The cable comes with a mating connector at the sensor end and bare wires for connection at the DCP's terminal block TB2.
Model 2030 Micro Response Anemometer User's Manual 3. THEORY OF OPERATION A light emitting diode in combination with a light sensitive transistor is mounted directly to the anemometer connector. A slotted wheel connected to the anemometer shaft rotates with the shaft and interrupts the light beam between the light emitting diode and the phototransistor.
Calibration data in Table 2 were compiled from tests in which the anemometer was operated in a wind tunnel equipped with NIST-traceable measuring instruments. Table 2. Model 2030 Anemometer Calibration Table Frequency Shaft Speed Wind Speed Wind Speed...

The bearings can be replaced in the field or the anemometer can be returned to All Weather Inc. for servicing. To inspect the bearings, turn the anemometer cup assembly to check that it turns freely and smoothly.
A maintenance kit (P/N M488141) is available for the Model 2030 that provides the parts necessary for basic upkeep of the instrument. The kit includes those parts that are the most susceptible to wear, such as bearings and set screws. To order this kit, contact All Weather Inc. and specify Part Number M488141.
