Installing the Anemometer

Installing the Anemometer
Use the following procedures to mount the anemometer.
Installing on a Sensor Mounting Arm
Consult the Sensor Mounting Arm manual for instructions. You will need to
return to this instruction manual after installing onto the Sensor Mounting Arm
for instructions on attaching the wind vane (see "Attaching the Wind Vane" on
page 8).
Installing the Base on a Wooden Post or Surface
1. Hold the anemometer base against the
wood surface and use a pencil to mark the
location of the four holes on the base.
2. Use a drill with a 3/16" (5-mm) drill bit to
make pilot holes in these locations.
3. Drive the lag screws through the holes in
the anemometer base and into the wood.
Installing the Base on an Antenna Mast or Metal Pipe: Outside
Diameter 7/8" to 1 1/4" (22 to 32 mm)
1. Hold the anemometer base against the pipe and
insert the two U-bolts through the back of the
base so that the U-bolts wrap around the pipe.
2. Place a 1/4" washer and a 1/4-20 hex nut over
each end of the U-bolts and use a wrench to
tighten the hex nuts.
