Testing the Anemometer
Before beginning your installation, follow the instructions below to test the ane-
mometer wind speed and wind direction functions.
1.
Connect the anemometer cable to the appropriate connector on your sensor
interface module (SIM) or junction box.
2.
Push the wind cups onto the smaller of the two stainless steel shafts at the
end of the arm.
3.
Spin the wind cups
gently
. You haven’t secured them yet, and if you spin
them too hard you may knock them off.
4.
Check the display on your weather station to make sure you are getting a
wind speed reading.
5.
Grab the larger of the two stainless steel shafts at the end of the arm with
your fingers and twist the shaft about 1/2 turn.
