The Wind speed sensor is supplied with a 10-metre shielded cable. It is recommended that
you do not shorten this cable when mounting the unit. Coil the remaining length of cable
or leave a loop; this will simplify any future expansion of the Meteorological station with
additional crossbars of mast sections.
Connecting
See Connecting sensors to the Weather interface WI2 (page 58) for how to connect the Wind
speed sensor.
Wind speed sensor maintenance
Check the Wind speed sensor regularly for pollution and clean it if necessary. Pollution and dust can
cause the paddle wheel to spin more slowly. Clean the unit with a damp cloth and a little mild
detergent if so required.
Do not use aggressive cleaning and/or abrasives!
Make sure that no moisture, dirt or dust enters the housing when opening the Wind speed
sensor. This can negatively impact the measurement.
