TurfWeather Weather Station

FIGURE 6-6. Wind speed sensor with boot down and exposing wires

c. Identify the wind speed sensor as the sensor with three cups that rotate

around the main sensor body. It is located on the top, rear of the

weather station main body.

Do not twist or place side pressure on either the wind speed

or wind direction sensors at any time during this sensor

removal/replacement process as it may cause them to break

off of the weather station main body.

d. Just below the sensor rotating cups, there is a flexible boot. Without

using tools, peel the boot down, folding it back upon itself and the

sensor mounting post. This will expose two wires connected to two

separate threaded terminal studs, retained by 1/4-inch nuts (FIGURE

6-6).

Take care not to place side pressure on the sensor itself, and do

not place downward pressure on the weather station main body as

this may damage the temp/RH sensor cage on the underside of the

weather station.

e. Using the 1/4-inch wrench, loosen the nuts and remove the wires.

f. Locate the single Phillips head screw on the side of the sensor body.

This is not either of the screws next to the threaded terminal studs.

Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw.
