Principle of measurement
1. Generator
Rotation of the 3-Cup assembly is transmitted to an AC generator. The AC voltage which is
proportional to wind speed is output.
2. Indicator
AC voltage from the generator is turned to DC voltage by a rectifier and the DC voltage operates
moving-coil type voltmeter.
Wiring
1. Generator
A short cord (approx. 1 m) is connected with the generator.
cord are used for the output of generator. Connect these to the indicator.
2. Indicator
Connect the wires with the terminals below the switch. There is no polarity since this is AC input.
Cautions at wiring between generator and indicator
If the wire resistance becomes large, it leads to error on indication of wind speed (about -1% at 200 ohm
per wire, 2.5km at 0.5mm², 3.5km at 0.75mm²).
transmission antennas and etc.
