Alignment Tuning

If mechanical alignment of WMT700 cannot be done, you can
correct the wind direction offset error by using an offset
adjustment command. For instructions, see Appendix D,
Configuration Parameters, on page 205.

Installing Bird Cage

To install the bird cage, you need to position the bird cage on top
of the wind sensor and secure the kit with two straps. You can
order the cage as an accessory from Vaisala; see Table 62 on page
192. The required straps are provided with the bird cage.

CAUTION

Make sure that you do not damage the array when installing the bird
cage.
