Mounting on Vertical Pole Mast
When mounting WMT700 on a vertical pole mast, you can place
it either on the side or on top of the mast. When selecting the
mounting position, take into account the other equipment installed
on the mast (for instance, lightning rods) and how the cable has
been routed (outside or inside the mast).
Figure 26 on page 66 and Figure 27 on page 67 show the
mounting procedure.
To mount WMT700 on a pole mast:
1. Attach the FIX70 mounting kit either to the side or on top
of the vertical pole mast with U bolts (provided). Insert the
U-bolts to the horizontal slots of the FIX70 mounting kit;
see number 4 in Figure 26 on page 66 and Figure 27 on
page 67.
2. Check that the mounting kit is not tilted to either side.
Tighten the U bolts only slightly.
NOTE Do not tighten the bolts too much at this stage because you still need to
rotate the mounting kit to align WMT700 after the installation.
3. Run the cable through the FIX70 mounting kit.
4. Connect the cable to the wind sensor as follows. First, insert
the cable in the cable tightening tool as shown in Figure 24
below. When you hear a click, the cable is properly
inserted.

5. Press the ribbed part of the cable tightening tool lightly and
attach the connector to WMT700. Direct the nib of the
connector towards the slot in the WMT700 connector.
Ensure that the connector is properly tightened before
proceeding to the next step.
