024A Met-One Wind Direction Sensor

1. Introduction

The 024A is a wind vane manufactured by Met One. It measures wind direction only and is traditionally used in tandem with Met One’s 014A Wind Speed Sensor.

Before installing the 024A, please study

• Section 2, Cautionary Statements

• Section 3, Initial Inspection

• Section 4, Quickstart

2. Cautionary Statements

• The 024A is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.

• If the 024A is to be installed at heights over 6 feet, be familiar with tower

safety and follow safe tower climbing procedures.

• Danger—Use extreme care when working near overhead electrical wires.

Check for overhead wires before mounting the 024A or before raising a tower.

• The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This

compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, and UV degradation. However, this jacket will support combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

3. Initial Inspection

• Upon receipt of the 024A, inspect the packaging and contents for damage.

File damage claims with the shipping company. Immediately check package contents against the shipping documentation. Contact Campbell Scientific about any discrepancies.

• The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the

connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping documents to ensure the expected product and cable length are received.

4. Select Sample for the output and then select finish

024A Met-One Wind Direction Sensor

5. Wire according to the wiring diagram generated by SCWin Short Cut.

5. Overview

Met One's 024A is a wind vane that measures wind direction from 0 to 360 degrees with a 5 degree accuracy. It uses a 10-kohm potentiometer to sense wind direction. A datalogger applies a precision excitation voltage to the potentiometer, resulting in an analog voltage output that is directly proportional to the wind direction's azimuth.

Cable length for the 024A is specified when the sensor is ordered. TABLE 5-1 gives the recommended cable length for mounting the sensor at the top of a tripod/tower via a CM202 crossarm.

TABLE 5-1. Recommended Cable Lengths

CM106 CM110 CM115 CM120 UT10 UT20 UT30

11 ft 14 ft 19 ft 24 ft 14 ft 24 ft 37 ft

The 024A's cable can terminate in:

• Pigtails that connect directly to a Campbell Scientific datalogger

(option –PT).

• Connector that attaches to a prewired enclosure (option –PW). Refer

to www.campbellsci.com/prewired-enclosures for more information.

Locate wind sensors away from obstructions (e.g. trees and building). As a general rule of thumb there should be a horizontal distance of at least ten times the height of the obstruction between the windset and the obstruction. If it is necessary to mount the sensors on the roof of a building, the height of the sensors, above the roof, should be at least 1.5 times the height of the building. See Section 9, References, for a list of references that discuss siting wind direction sensors.

NOTE

7.4.1 Datalogger Instruction

This section is for users who write their own programs. A datalogger program to measure this sensor can be created using Campbell Scientifics’ Short Cut Program Builder software. You do not need to read this section to use Short Cut.

The datalogger instruction that measures the 024A is datalogger dependent. The BRHalf() measurement instruction is used for our CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, and CR5000 dataloggers. Our CR200(X)-series dataloggers use the EX-DEL_SE(). Our Edlog dataloggers (e.g., CR510, CR10(X), CR23X) use Instruction 4 – Excite, Delay, Measure. Excitation voltages, range

7.4.2 Calibration and Orientation

Conversion of the voltage output into wind direction is done by entering the proper multiplier. The proper multiplier is calculated by dividing 360 by the full scale input voltage (i.e., 360/FSIV). The full scale input voltage (FSIV) is the maximum voltage output from the wind vane. This is found by creating a datalogger program with a multiplier of 1, the default excitation, and a fast scan interval. With a multiplier of 1, the value stored in the variable or input location is simply the voltage output. Slowly turn the wind vane; the shoulder screw must first be removed. The maximum value observed is the full scale input voltage (FSIV).

NOTE

If the reading is -99999, exceeds 500 on the 21X or CR7, or exceeds 250 on the CR10, then reduce the millivolts of excitation by 5 mV.

Multiplier 360/FSIV* Offset 0.0

*FSIV = Full scale input voltage

Enter the calculated multiplier in the program.

Orientation of the 024A Wind Direction Sensor should be complete if the 024A counter weight was aligned due south.

7.4.3 Example Programs

NOTE

For these examples, the multiplier is listed as 1. The multiplier is unique to individual devices. Follow the procedure provided in Section 7.4.2, Calibration and Orientation, to acquire the correct multiplier for your sensor.

Appendix A. Wind Direction Sensor Orientation

A.1 Determining True North and Sensor Orientation

Orientation of the wind direction sensor is done after the datalogger has been programmed, and the location of True North has been determined. True North is usually found by reading a magnetic compass and applying the correction for magnetic declination; where magnetic declination is the number of degrees between True North and Magnetic North. The preferred method to obtain the magnetic declination for a specific site is to use a computer service offered by NOAA at www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag. Magnetic declination can also be obtained from a map or local airport. A general map showing magnetic declination for the contiguous United States is shown in FIGURE A-1.

Declination angles east of True North are considered negative, and are subtracted from 360 degrees to get True North as shown FIGURE A-2 (0° and 360° are the same point on the compass). For example, the declination for Logan, Utah is 14° East. True North is 360° - 14°, or 346° as read on a compass. Declination angles west of True North are considered positive, and are added to 0 degrees to get True North as shown in FIGURE A-3.

Orientation is most easily done with two people, one to aim and adjust the sensor, while the other observes the wind direction displayed by the datalogger.

1. Establish a reference point on the horizon for True North.

2. Sighting down the instrument center line, aim the nose cone, or counterweight at True North. Display the input location or variable for wind direction using a hand-held keyboard display, PC, or palm.

3. Loosen the u-bolt on the CM220 or the set screws on the NU-RAIL that secure the base of the sensor to the crossarm. While holding the vane position, slowly rotate the sensor base until the datalogger indicates 0 degrees. Tighten the set screws.
