Page 5: General Information
1. General Information About this Manual This manual is intended as a general guide for installing, wiring and using a Kalyx-RG rain gauge. The information contained in this manual may not cover all aspects of Kalyx-RG applications. Please refer to associated equipment manuals or consult papers and technical notes on the EML website (www.emltd.net). -
Page 6: Introduction
2. Introduction The WSD1 sensor measures both wind speed and wind direction. At the top of the unit is a 3-cupped anemometer (white) for measuring wind speed, and at the bottom, a wind vane (black) for measuring wind direction. Always ensure that this orientation is maintained. These devices are attached to the main body of the unit which is made of a clear anodised (HT30) aluminium alloy. -
Page 7: Wiring & Connection Information
4. Wiring & connection information This section gives information on connecting the WSD1 to loggers, including a circuit diagram. Wiring colours. The cable supplied with the WSD1 sensor consists of three twisted pairs of inner conductors plus a screen. The screen is not connected within the sensor. The fitted twisted-pair cable consists of one colour plus its associated black. -

Page 9: Speed Component Of The Sensor (Anemometer)
Speed component of the sensor (anemometer) The use of this design also allows the anemometer to be used in circuits down to zero voltage and current, without reducing the life expectancy of the reed switch. In the circuit diagram shown in Figure 1 a 100 ohm resistor is fitted into the wiring. This is because in long cable runs the capacitance between conductors is appreciable. -

Page 12: Final Assembly
Final assembly If the system is being assembled in the field then the four steel pegs should be fitted through the corners of the Baseplate (f) and into the ground. They may require knocking in with a mallet. Assemble an M6 bolt and washer through the hole in a stake (k), fit another washer and then the first shoulder nut as shown in Figure 3, and fully tighten. -

7. Assembly and use of the WSS2. The WSS2 product consists of the WSD1 sensor plus a simpler mounting than the WSS1 kit, used when fixing to masts or poles of up to 2" (50mm) in diameter. The mount is a clear-anodised alloy. Unpacking and Assembly Unpack and identify all parts of the WSS2 kit from the box by using Table 5 and Figure 5. -

Cable ties should be fitted to ensure a tidy cable run down the mast. If the WSS2 kit is being fitted to a horizontal mast then the two M6 screws (e) should be removed, the bracket rotated 90 o and the screws replaced and fully tightened. -
