Trouble Shooting
If the read out is, blank (no lights).
Check power source; make sure that there is 12VDC supplied.
Check Polarity, make sure positive and negative leads were connected according to
instructions.
Check sensor connections; Make sure the wiring sequence for wind speed sensor is
correct.
If there is no Wind Speed (reads 00).
Check continuity of the cable.
Check sensor connections; Make sure the wiring sequence for wind speed sensor is
correct.
Disconnect the wires marked #1, #2, and #3 from the terminal strip. With a short
jumper wire short (touch together) terminals #1 and #2 together several times. This
will make the read-out show a random number for wind speed. If it does instrument is
OK, and the problem is in the sensor. If it still shows “00” the problem is in the read-
out.
To Test Alarm
Set the set points to “00” MPH. This will activate both alarms.
