PROPER INSTALLATION IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, CONSULT A CONTRACTOR, ELECTRICIAN
OR TELEVISION ANTENNA INSTALLER (CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING SUPPLY, OR HARDWARE STORE
FOR REFERRALS). TO PROMOTE CONFIDENCE, PERFORM A TRIAL WIRING BEFORE INSTALLATION.

Feed the teminal lug end of the black and white wires through
one of the rubber boots and connect the lugs to the terminals on the
bottom of the wind speed sensor using the brass nuts provided. The polarity
does not matter. (Do NOT adjust the nuts that are already on the sensor).

ARM
Secure the sensors and stub masts to your antenna mast (not supplied) with
the two hose clamps. Align the wind-direction Z-mast arm to true North.
Radio Shack and similar stores have a selection of tall masts and roof
mounting brackets. Choose a mount that best suits your location and
provides at least eight feet of vertical clearance above objects on the roof.

INSTALLATION
Determine where you are going to locate both the
rooftop sensors and the read-out.
Feed the terminal lug end of the red and green wires through the other

rubber boot. Connect the red wire to the terminal marked #4.
Connect the green wire to the terminal marked #5. The polarity MUST be
observed. Use the hex nuts provided. (Do NOT adjust the nuts that are
already on the wind direction sensor).

When connecting the wind direction sensor
to the Z-mast, make certain that terminal #4
is aligned with the Z-mast arm. If the sensor
is not installed in this manner your wind
direction readings will be incorrect.
