Compass Calibration (WM 200, 300)
If necessary, to correct for the presence of
ferrous metals, the compass can be calibrated.
Go to compass mode press and hold SET/EL
key till display shows “COMPASS CAL”
(blinking). Turn the unit in a vertical position as
shown. Turn the unit around twice, 15 sec per
turn, as shown. After completing the 2 turns
press SET/EL key to confirm calibration. If the
display shows “END” the calibration is
successful. If the display shows “ERR” redo the
calibration process.
Getting Started
Open your WindMate
®
to 180
o
as shown. If using
a tripod, open your WindMate
®
to a 90
o
angle as
shown above to access the tripod fitting.
To turn the unit on or off, press and hold Mode
key for about 3 sec. You can turn off the unit at
any mode. If the unit is idle for 5 minutes, it will
auto shut down to preserve battery life.
When taking wind measurements by hand, make sure to
keep the WindMate
®
at arm’s length from the body with the
display facing towards you so the wind will enter the wind
impeller through the rear. Use the wind vane to orient the
wind meter so you are on the wind’s axis. This will give you
the most accurate measurement.
CAUTION: The WindMate
®
is very accurate at low and
mid-range air speeds. Consistent use at very high speeds,
such as from a fast-moving car, will damage the impeller’s
bearing and reduce its accuracy. See below for impeller
replacement.
Digital Wind Direction (WM 200, 300)
Point the WindMate
®
directly into the wind and select
Compass mode. The edge of the wind vane will point
directly towards you. Wind direction is displayed digitally
and in compass points.
The compass feature can also compute the cross and
head/tail wind. Point the meter in the direction of travel or
target and get a steady compass reading. Press and hold
Units key until MARK stops blinking. Release Units key
and point the meter into the wind until you have a steady
compass reading. Press and hold Units key until MARK
stops blinking. The meter will display cross wind and to view
head wind press the Units Key. The computed cross and
head/tail wind may indicate a minus (–) sign. The minus (–)
sign will indicate the wind is coming from the back, while no
sign will indicate that the wind is coming from the front. To
exit, press Mode.
Using the Wind Meter Functions
When the unit is turned on for the first time, the default
mode is wind speed. Going to other modes or features is
simply done by pressing the Mode button.
Pressing Units Key at any mode, except Compass and
Humidity (WM 200, 300 only), changes the unit to your
preferred measurement unit. Units of measurement
sequence is shown below for each model.
Sequence for WM 100
• Wind speed – displays real time wind speed
• Max. wind speed – displays the max. wind speed
• Avg. wind speed – 5 sec
• Avg. wind speed – 10 sec
• Avg. wind speed – 13 sec
Max. / Avg. / Wind Speed
MPH---->KMPH---->MPS---->FPM---->BF---->KNT
Average Wind Speed (WM 100 only)
The WM 100 is equipped with 3 average wind speed options
5, 10 and 13 sec. Select the desired time duration in which
the unit will calculate the average wind speed. Press the
ST/EL key to start the count down. When the count down
reaches zero the average wind speed will be shown. To
take another average wind speed press ST/EL key.
Setting the Comfort Index™ (WM 300)
Accuweather.com® Comfort Index™ is the effect of temp,
relative humidity, wind speed & sun intensity on the human
body. You can adjust the formula based on sun intensity.
The solar factor has a range of 0 to 3.0 with a default setting
of 1.5 (medium sun intensity). Example: Full sun = 3.0;
Heavy clouds = 0. To change, press and hold SET/EL key.
Press Units key to adjust the current value of the solar
factor and press SET/EL to confirm and exit the setting
mode.
Replacing the Battery (All models)
The unit uses a CR2032 Lithium battery. Turn the unit to the
back. Use a coin to turn battery cover as indicated by the
arrow. Insert the battery with the printed side facing you and
close the battery door.
