g. Remove the sensor from its post by gently twisting and pulling it
away from the post.
2. Sensor Replacement:
a. Press the new wind speed sensor on the post until it is seated on the
top of the mounting post.
Orientation of this sensor is not important but it must be firmly
seated on its mounting post.
b. Install and tighten the Phillips head screw on the side of the sensor
body one half turn beyond when it is initially tight in the hole (after it
has bottomed against the sensor post). Gently pull on the sensor body
to assure it is firmly attached to the sensor post. If not, then tighten
the screw until the sensor cannot be removed.
c. Reattach the two wires to the correct threaded terminal studs and
tighten the nuts using the 1/4-inch wrench.
It does not matter which wire is connected to which terminal stud.
These connections are interchangeable.
d. Unroll the rubber protective boot and assure that it completely covers
the lower portion of the wind speed sensor, just as it did when you
started this process.
3. System Test:
a. Connect the weather station to the host computer using the RS-232
test cable (if a wired system) and turn the weather station power
switch to the ON position. Initiate communications with your
weather station using PC200W.
b. Manually spin the sensor cups for a minute or two to verify that the
wind speed sensor is reporting a value.
c. Turn the weather station power switch to the OFF position.
d. Reinstall the weather station on its mast; then reconnect power and
ground wires before turning the weather station power switch to the
ON position.
