Page 20: Mechanical Installation
Model 2040 Ultrasonic Wind Sensor 4.6 Mechanical Installation Before installing, a bench system test is recommended (see Section 4.2). All the time the ultrasonic wind sensor is not in its final location, it should be protected from damage by keeping it in the original packaging as long as possible, treating it as a delicate instrument.
Page 22: Alignment
Model 2040 Ultrasonic Wind Sensor 4.6.4 Alignment The ultrasonic wind sensor should be set to point North (or to another known reference direction), using the North Spar, which can be identified from the alignment indicator on the base of the instrument. See Figure 3.
Page 23: Message Formats & Options
5.1 Wind Speed Format The wind speed measurements can be output in one of the following formats: UV, Polar, NMEA, or Tunnel (Models 2040 and 2040H). 5.2 Output Formats The UV and Polar wind speed parameters are output in either ASCII or binary.
Page 24: Networking
Unit Identifiers A, B, C, D, E, F, K, M, N and P are not used. Configuring Model 2040 for Half-Duplex Operation Set up two terminals—one for RS-485 Half Duplex and the other for RS-422 Full Duplex. One PC (with two USB ports) can be used for both terminals, although two may be less confusing.
