ponents and spare parts supplied and/or recommended by Adolf Thies GmbH & Co. KG should be used for re­pairs.

• Electrical devices/products must be mounted and wired only in voltage-free state.

• Adolf Thies GmbH & Co KG guarantees proper functioning of the device/products provided that no modifica-

tions have been made to the mechanics, electronics or software, and that the following points are observed:

• All information, warnings and instructions for use included in these operating instructions must be taken into ac­count and observed as this is essential to ensure trouble-free operation and a safe condition of the measuring
system / device / product.

• The device / product is designed for a specific application as described in these operating instructions.

• The device / product should be operated with the accessories and consumables supplied and/or recommended

by Adolf Thies GmbH & Co KG .

• Recommendation: As it is possible that each measuring system / device / product under certain conditions, and
in rare cases, may also output erroneous measuring values, it is recommended to use redundant systems with
plausibility checks with security-relevant applications.

2 Application

The wind transmitter is designed for the acquisition of the horizontal component of the wind speed
in the field of meteorology and environmental measuring technology, evaluation of location, and
measurement of capacity characteristics of wind power systems.
Special characters are defined and optimised, dynamic behaviour also at high turbulence intensity,
minimal over-speeding, and a low starting values.
The measuring value is available as digital signal at the output. It can be transmitted to display in­struments, recording instruments, data loggers as well as to process control systems. For winter
operation the instrument is optional equipped with an electronically regulated heating, which guar­antees a smooth running of the ball bearings, and prevents the shaft and slot from icing-up.

3 Construction and Mode of Operation

A low-inertia cup star with 3 cups, made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic, is set into rotation by the
wind. The rotation is scanned opto-electronically, and is converted into a square wave signal. The
frequency of this signal is proportional to the number or rotations. Depending on the supply voltage,
the output signal ranges between maximal output voltage and ground or a potential (life-zero
lifted by approx. 1.2 V. The supply of the electronics can be done by DC-voltage of 3.3 V up to 48 V
at a very low current consumption. An AC- or DC-voltage of 24 V is intended for the separate sup­ply of the optional heating. In all probability, the heating guarantees a trouble-free function of the
Wind Transmitter First Class even under extreme meteorological icing-conditions.

The outer parts of the instrument are made of corrosion-resistant anodised aluminium. Highly effec­tive labyrinth gaskets and O-rings protect the sensitive parts inside the instrument against humidity
and dust. The instrument is mounted onto a mast tube; the electrical plug-connection is located in
the transmitter shaft.

4 Recommendation Side Selection / Standard Installation

In general, wind measuring instruments are supposed to record wind conditions over a large area.
According to international regulations, the surface wind should be measured at a height of 10 m
above even open terrain, in order to achieve comparable values. An open terrain is defined as ter­rain where the distance between the wind-measuring instrument and the next obstacle is at least
ten times the height of this obstacle (acc. to VDI 3786 sheet 2 as well as Guide to Meteorological
Instruments and Methods of Observation, Sixth Edition, WMO-No. 8). If this regulation cannot be
fulfilled, the measuring instrument should be installed at a height at where the measurement values
are not influenced by any local obstacles. In any case, the measuring instruments should be in­stalled at a height of 6 to 10 m above the mean height of the buildings or trees in the vicinity. If it is
necessary to install the instrument on a roof, it should be installed in the centre of the roof in order
to avoid any preferential directions.

5 Installation

Attention:

Storing, mounting, and operation under weather conditions is per­missible only in vertical position, as otherwise water can get into the
instrument.

Remark:

When using fastening adapters (angle, traverses, etc) please take a possible ef­fect to the measuring values by shading into consideration.

Caution:

The device may only be supplied with a power supply of the
"Class 2, limited power”.
