1. MULTIMET INSTALLATION
1.1 Introduction
The Multimet is designed as a
professional, reliable and easy to use
system satisfying the demands of
industrial, meteorological, aviation and
marine users. The system can display and
record wind speed and direction data in a
variety of clear and unambiguous formats
ideally suited to many different applications.
A high contrast, transflective LCD
display with back light facility maintains
crystal clarity in all lighting conditions.
Multimet display units may be networked
together to provide distributed multi-user
access to real time wind data.
A comprehensive PC software
package, Online Pro, supports the
system and provides graphical
presentation of real time and historical
wind data. The software operates in the
WindowsTMenvironment and may be user
configured to suit specific monitoring
requirements.
1.2 System Installation
1.2.1 General
The Casella CEL Multimet is available in
either a desktop enclosure or panel mount
format:
Desk Top Systems
The desk top version should be positioned
in the desired location ensuring
adequate clearance behind the unit for
interconnecting cables.
Simple connection of cables for
sensors, data communications and
power supply is achieved using
connectors located on the rear of the
instrument.
Panel Mounted Installation
For panel mounted applications, use the
supplied template as a guide, cut out
the hole for the back and drill the four
4.3 mm diameter holes for the studs.
