Safety Safety This manual may include a CAUTION and a WARNING indication. Familiarize yourself with the following definitions for the meanings of these indicators. CAUTION indicates a hazard and calls attention to a procedure that if not correctly followed could result in damage to the instrument. Do not proceed beyond a caution indicator without understanding the hazard.
Introduction & Overview – TACMET II Weather Station Overview Met One’s TACMET II ERMP weather station is designed as a stand-alone weather station to provide accurate measurements of wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure. An internal fluxgate compass is included. This sensor is specific to the ERMP program. The unit has no moving parts and is ideally suited for use wherever reliable, maintenance free, performance over a wide operating range, under adverse conditions is required.
Installation Be sure to mount the sensor in a clear, open area to minimize any turbulent effects caused by local obstructions (e.g., trees, buildings, etc.). The sensor is installed on Met One’s P/N 102790-G3-100 pre-wired sensor mount. The keyway in the connector on the base of the sensor is matched to the keyway on the QuickMount.
Calibration The sensor requires a wind tunnel for calibration. Met One can provide NIST traceable calibration in our wind tunnel. Please contact the factory for further details. Maintenance Because the sensor has no moving parts to wear out, periodic maintenance is not required. In extremely corrosive environments, the condition of the connector used to mount the sensor should be checked.

Appendix B Theory of Operation Winds Met One’s sonic anemometer operates on the principal that the speed of the wind affects the time it takes for sound to travel from one point to a second point. If the sound is traveling in the direction of the wind then the transit time is decreased.
