6.11. Mechanical installation
Before installing, it is strongly recommended that a bench test is carried out.
Location
Select a position so that the unit is clear of any structure, which may obstruct the airflow or induce turbulence.
Do NOT mount the WindMaster in close proximity of high-powered radar or radio transmitters. A site survey may be
required if there is any doubt about the strength of external electrical noise.
Orientation
Normally the WindMaster/Pro is mounted vertically, ensuring a horizontal Measuring Plane.
However, the unit may be mounted with the Measurement Plane set to any required orientation, provided the sealing
gasket is fitted to the flange and provision is made to seal the M4 base mounting nuts (i.e. with a rubber boot) to prevent
water ingress. It is particularly important for the WindMaster RA to have the gasket fitted and use RTV sealant
around the base when unit is connected up so as to prevent water penetration through cables/connectors or base screws
etc. Care must also be taken to ensure that water cannot penetrate through the cable at any point and find a route
through into the WindMaster connector.
Attention to sealing is especially if any model is to be used in an inverted position and it is advised to also use RTV
sealant around the base when unit is connected up so as to prevent water penetration through cables/connectors or base
screws etc.
Alignment and Dimensions
The reference north spar as indicated by a notch (that is in the direction line with north), which is also indicated on the
base of the unit by another notch.
