Mounting
You can mount WMT700 either to a vertical pole mast or a horizontal
cross arm using a WS425 mounting kit. The procedure for both mounting
options is identical. Typically you can upgrade from WS425 to WMT700
without removing the mounting kit.
NOTE If you remove the mounting kit, you need to align the wind sensor after
the mounting procedure. To facilitate the aligning process, mark both the
wind sensor and the mounting kit with a marker pen before removing the
mounting kit.
You can use the mark as a rough reference when starting the aligning
process described in Chapter 4, Installation, section Alignment, in the
Vaisala WINDCAP
® Ultrasonic Wind Sensor Series WMT700 User's
Guide.
When mounting WMT700 to a cross arm, the wind sensor can be placed
with the array facing up or down. If the wind sensor is installed with the
array facing down, you must configure WMT700 accordingly. For
configuration instructions, see Vaisala WINDCAP
® Ultrasonic Wind
Sensor Series WMT700 User's Guide.
Figure 3 on page 17 shows the mounting procedure to a vertical pole
mast. Figure 4 on page 18 and Figure 5 on page 19 show the mounting
procedure to a horizontal cross arm.
