6. General information

6.1. General recommendations

Wind Speed Gust is that value that measures abrupt and sudden change in wind speed.
Regarding mounting the unit, align the north mark of the ULP towards the natural north, bow of a boat,
or the marker used as a reference
.
Regarding mounting the unit, the mast head has to be prepared for the mechanical installation. Align the
North mark of the Ultrasonic Ultra-Low-Power to the north. Make sure to install the sensor in a location
free from wind perturbation, usually on the mast head.
Make sure to install the sensor in a location free from anything that obstructs the flow of wind to the
sensors within a 2 meter radius, for example, the mast head on a boat.
Other important aspects:
- Do not attempt to access the transducers area with your fingers;
- Do not attempt any modification to the unit;
- Never paint any part of the unit or alter its surface in any way.
- NOT allow to be submerged fully or partially in water.
If you have any questions or doubts, please contact us directly.

6.2. Maintenance and repair

The ULP does not require great maintenance given the new design of non-moveable parts.
Transducers must be kept clean and aligned. Impacts or incorrect impulsive handling may lead to trans-
ducers misalignment.
The space around the transducers must be empty and clean. Dust, frost, water, etc... will make the unit
stop working.
The ULP can be wiped clean with a damp cloth being careful to not touch the transducers.

6.3 Warranty

This warranty covers the defects resulting from defective parts, materials and manufacturing, if made
known to the manufacturer within 24 months after the purchase date.
Warranty is void in case of non-following the instructions of use, repair or maintenance without written
authorisation.
Any wrongful use by the user will not incur any responsibility on part of Calypso Instruments; therefore,
any harm caused to the ULP by a mistake will not be covered by the waranty. Using assembly elements
different from those delivered with the product will void the waranty.
Changes on transducers position/alignment will void any warranty.
