WIND ALARM
OPERATION / INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the Maximum wind speed alarm system. The Maximum
wind speed alarm system is a dual set point digital instrument. It contains a yellow
light to display one set point, a red light to display the other set point. When both
alarms activate an audible buzzer will turn on. Each set point controls a SPDT relay
(rated at 5A at 30VDC), that can be used to turn on or off many devices.
*** IMPORTANT ***
This instrument is to be used as an aide to your current safety
program, and is not to be used exclusively in operations that may
affect personal and/or property safety.
Installation
Proper Installation is important. If you need assistance, consult a
contractor electrician, or television antenna installer (check with
your local building supply, or hardware store for referrals). To
promote confidence, perform a trial wiring before installation.
1. Determine where you are going to locate both the rooftop sensor and the read-
out.
2. Feed the terminal end of the three-conductor cable through the bottom of the
enclosed rubber boot and connect the lugs to the terminals on the bottom of the
wind speed sensor. Wire the clear wire to number 6 on the generator, black
wire to number 7 on the generator, green wire to number 8 on the generator.
(Do not adjust the nuts that are already on the sensor).
3. Slide the stub mast through the rubber boot and insert the stub mast into the
bottom of the wind speed sensor. Secure with the cotter pin. Coat all
connections with silicone sealant and slip boot over the sensor.
4. Secure the sensor and the stub mast to your antenna mast (not supplied) with
the two hose clamps. Radio Shack and similar stores have a selection of
antenna masts and roof mounting brackets. Choose a mount that best suits your
location and provides at least 8 feet of vertical clearance above objects on the
roof.
