4. Installation
4.1 Installing WMT700
To prevent corrosion and oxidation, use copper paste or equivalent on screws and
connector threads.
4.1.1 Maritime Installations
In maritime installations according to IEC 60945, WMT700 belongs to installation category
C, which means that it is exposed to weather.
When making maritime installations, note the following:
• Do not install WMT700 near a magnetic compass. The compass safe distance is 5 m.
• Do not place WMT700 directly in front of a radar.
• Do not install WMT700 next to a powerful RF-transmitter antenna.
4.2 Placing WMT700
Install WMT700 on one of the following:
• Side of the mast
• Top of the mast
• Sensor support arm or cross arm
To prevent equipment damage, install an air terminal so that the tip is as
high above the instruments and sensors as possible.
CAUTION!
When selecting the mounting position and routing the sensor cable, take into account the
other equipment installed on the mast (for example, air terminals).
For the most reliable measurements:
• Avoid trees or other objects nearby which could disturb wind
flow.
• Install the sensor to the height that best represents the prevailing wind conditions on
site.
