4.7. Mechanical Installation
Do NOT remove the black “rubber” transducer caps.
Take care not to knock the four Transducer arms.
Before installing, a bench system test is recommended.
All the time the WindObserver 65 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.
When installing the unit handle with lint free gloves and degrease the unit to reduce the build-up of
deposits.
Do not apply clamps to the WindObserver cylinder body as this will distort the cylinder and affect
sealing.
Location
It is important to ensure that the WindObserver 65 is mounted in a position clear of any structure, which may obstruct
the airflow or induce turbulence.
Do NOT mount the WindObserver 65 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. (
See Section 5.3)
Orientation
Normally the WindObserver 65 is mounted vertically with the cable exit at the bottom.
Alternatively, the unit may be mounted in any orientation, but note that if the unit is mounted with the cable uppermost,
the base must be fully sealed externally to prevent water penetration. Fit the supplied gasket if the 2 metal mounting
faces are of dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion.
