Vaisala WMT700 - Manual (Page 92)

User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________
CAUTION When handling WMT700, do not rotate, pull, strike, bend, scrape, or
touch the transducers with sharp objects. Any impact on the wind sensor
array damages the device.
NOTE Save the container and all the packaging materials for future transporting
or shipping.
For instructions on unpacking, see section Unpacking on page 62.
Mounting with WS425 Mounting Kit
You can mount WMT700 either on a vertical pole mast or a
horizontal cross arm using the 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 section Alignment on page 74.
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
Configuration on page 110.
Figure 42 on page 91 shows the mounting procedure to a vertical
pole mast. Figure 43 on page 92 and Figure 44 on page 93 show
the mounting procedure to a horizontal cross arm.
