8 Maintenance
If properly installed, the instrument requires no maintenance. Heavy pollution can lead to
blockage of the slot between the rotating and the stable parts of the transmitter. Thus, it is
advisable to remove the accumulated dirt from the instrument.
Cleaning
For the cleaning of the device should use a damp cloth without chemical cleaning agents are
used.
Certain symptoms of wear and tear can appear on the ball bearings after years of use. These
symptoms are expressed in a lowered sensitivity of response, standstill or run-noises of the
ball bearings. In case that such disturbances might occur, we recommend to return the in-
strument - in original package - to the factory for maintenance work.
Note:
Please use original packing during transport of instrument.
We recommend the threads of the plugs with a suitable corrosion inhibitor to protect against
corrosion.
9 Firmware Version / Update
The firmware update can be carried out using the "ThiesDeviceUtility" program (see also 10
Bootloader). This program can be downloaded and installed from the THIES homepage. The
firmware files are provided directly by Thies. A firmware update should only be carried out
before the sensor is calibrated.
When updating the firmware, make sure that the correct version is loaded onto the sensor.
To do this, the currently installed firmware version must be read out before the update.
The following table shows the options for an update of the firmware in the wind transmitter.
