¤)Due to the necessity of the freedom to turn with very low friction the mechanical
slack can not be zero. If the slack gives a maximum play (difference in height) of
the outer edge of the vane that is less than. 3 mm. the measured wind angle is
within ± 2° of calibrated value.
Before starting searching for electrical defects in the wind transducer check
connections, wires and configuration set-up, i.e. which unit is set to be Wind
Master, C71 (takes the Wind category, see § 2.4 )
