This document provides guidelines for mounting and connecting the WSS 750 high performance static wind sensor. The WSS 750 can be connected to old DEIF wind displays (like WSDI and 879) or XDI-N to form a complete wind system. The sensor may also be used as a component in a larger system.
When unpacking the wind sensor, remove the transportation support foam that carries the cable and protects the sensor body. To avoid bending or twisting the three sensor arms, do not remove the protection cap, until you have installed the WSS 750 in the mast.
The universal mounting bracket may also be mounted directly on a flat surface. It is recommended to mount the 2 meter cable on the WSS 750 prior to installing it on the universal mounting bracket. USER'S MANUAL AND INSTALLATION NOTE 4189350059C UK...

When mounting the 2 meter cable with the preinstalled connector on the WSS 750 there is no need for a special mounting tool. When the connector is marked with a symbol with a crossed out spanner no tool is required and the mounting instructions below should be followed: 1.
Grounding of the sensor in the mast top is important for EMC protection and reliable operation. The WSS 750 sensor shall be grounded either by making sure that the mast mount bracket has a good connection to ground via the steel mast or alternatively, mount a ground wire on one of the screws on the sensor.
4. Power supply 4.1 Power supply The WSS 750 system requires a 24-30 V DC, 2 A power supply. It is recommended to use a separate galvanic isolated power supply to supply power to the wind measuring system, and the positive and negative power supply connections must not be connected to ground (earth).
100 m), and the IP66 connection box kit. These parts are normally ordered as accessories, but can be included in some of the DEIF anemometer system packages. For WSS 750 (heated, 35 W), the standard WSS extension cable (4 x 0.75 mm2 with shield) can be used up to 50 m. Above 50 m, the following can be considered: •...

10. Replace WSS or WSS-L with WSS 750 10.1 How to replace The WSS or WSS-L wind sensor can directly be replaced by WSS 750 high performance sensor, without major changes to the installation, and the existing extension cable and installation box can normally be used.
The 2 m cable from the WSS 750 is connected to the existing cable using a connection box. The existing box may also be reused. The WSI interface box must be mounted indoor. It is often practical to mount it close to the display, but it is not required.
