Mounting WMT703

To mount WMT703 on the mast, proceed as follows:

1.

Attach the mast adapters (numbers 2, 4, and 5 in Figure 27 on page
65, both sides) to the FIX70 m
ounting kit (1).

2.

Install the FIX70 mounting kit to the mast (11) with the U-bolts
(7). Do not tighten the U-bolts (7, 8, 9) too much at this stage
because you still need to rotate the bracket to align WMT703 (6)
after the installation.

3.

Connect the cable to the wind sensor. Tighten the connector by
rotating the connector by hand clockwise, see Figure 28 on page
66.

4.

Hold the wind sensor (6) from its body and slide the sensor into the
FIX70 mounting kit (1). Turn the sensor so that the fixing screw
(10) slides into the appropriate slot. Turn the sensor until the fixing
screw reaches the far end of the slot. Tighten the fixing screw.

CAUTION

Do not remove the transportation damper that protects the array before
aligning the sensor. Do not touch the array when handling WMT703.

5.

Remove the transportation damper protecting the array and store it
for future use.

6.

Align WMT703 as instructed in section Aligning Ultrasonic Wind
Sensor WMT703 on page 67.

7.

Secure the sensor cable to the mast with cable ties.

8.

Connect the sensor cable to the WMT70 Data and WMT70 Power
connectors on the bottom of the enclosure; see section Connecting
Sensor Cables on page 95.
