QK-AS06 Manual
2. Tighten the set screw in the wind vane with the provided Allen wrench.
Attaching the Wind Cups
1. Push the wind cups onto the anemometer's stainless
steel wind cup shaft.
2. Slide the wind cups up the shaft as far as possible.
3. Use the Allen wrench to tighten the set screw on the
side of the wind cups. The wind cups should drop slightly
when you let go.
4. Ensure the set screw is screwed in fully and tight.
Failure to do so will cause the AS06 to function
improperly.
5. Spin the wind cups, they should spin freely. If they do not spin freely, take them off and repeat the
above steps.

3.2 Mount the arm on the mast

1. Mount the D-bracket on the mast or pipe with the provided U-bolts
set. Secure the mast the anemometer is mounted on so that it does
not vibrate. If you are using tripods, secure them with guy wires. If the
AS06 is to be fitted to a wooden mast, suitable screws should be
used. Failure to firmly fasten D-bracket to the mast will cause damage
to the AS06.
2. The AS06 must be substantially horizontal and the arm should be
pointing straight forward. Spirit level (not included) can be used to
obtain the right position. Position can also be adjusted from the two
screws on the D-bracket. After the installation is complete, please
ensure fixing screws are tightened and the D-bracket is well fixed and
secured to the mast.

3.3 Secure the cables

The AS06 comes with one meter cable with a waterproof connector at
the end. This will have to be used to connect it to the extension cable.
There are 10 meters and 20 meters long extension cables available.
Please choose the right length extension cable for your application.
Joint the two connectors firmly and fully, tighten the nut on the
connector, to ensure no water or dust can enter into the junction.
To prevent the anemometer's cable from damage, secure it to the
mast so it does not whip about in the wind using cable clips or
weather resistant cable ties. Place clips or cable ties evenly, at
approximately every 0.8 to 1.5m (2.6 to 5 ft). Do not use metal staples
to secure the cable as these can damage the cable. It is
recommended to check the state of the cable annually.
