An optional mast mount kit enables the sensor to be fitted to circular

masts up to 50 mm in diameter.

The wind direction sensor is factory set to point North when the

cross arm supporting the sensors is aligned on a north - south axis.

Rotate the sensor head cross arm until the red “N” mark on the

direction sensor (weather vane) is pointing directly north. Use a compass to

confirm that the sensor head cross bar is now running due north - south.

Once the cross arm is correctly aligned, clamp the extension tube securely in

place.

The sensor arm should be fitted to the pre-wired connector. Ensure

the connector is fully tightened to maintain prevent the ingress of water.

Sensors are supplied with a 25 m length of cable as standard

pre-wired to a 5-way plug. Wiring details are as follows:

Power Supply

The Multimet system is delivered with a 12 VDC power supply that accepts

mains input voltages between 90 and 260 VAC, and may be used throughout

the world. For cable lengths less than 200 m, the sensors are powered

directly from the display’s power supply. For extended distances, a power

supply located at the sensor position may be required. Details of any

non-standard system configurations will be provided in a supplement to this

handbook.
