Sensor maintenance Every month do a visual/audio inspection of the anemometer at low wind speeds. Verify that the propeller and wind vane bearing rotate freely. Inspect the sensor for physical damage. Replace the anemometer bearings when they become noisy, or the wind speed threshold increases above an acceptable level.

    NOTE: Campbell Scientific recommends factory replacement of the bearings and potentiometer. About this manual Refer to the page of this document for the procedure of acquiring a Returned Materials Authorization (RMA). Mechanically-adept users may choose to replace the bearings or potentiometer themselves. Instructions for replacing the bearings and (www.youngusa.com).
