diagrams for wiring please refer to chapter 3.

2 Installation of the CLIMA SENSOR US

Attention:

The working position of the CLIMA SENSOR US is v ertical (plug
connection underneath).
During mounting, de-mounting, transport or maintenance of the
CLIMA SENSOR US please make sure that no water gets into
the instrument base or plug.
When using a lightning rod please take care that it is mounted
at below 45° to a wind measuri ng di stance, in order to avoid
malfunctions caused by reflections.
The instrument must be mounted and wired only by qualified
personnel, who knows and observes the generalities of
techniques, and applicable regulations and norms.

2.1 Mechanical installation

Proper installation of the CLIMA SENSOR US is carried
out using a tube socket R1½" ( Ø 48. 3 m m) and at least
30 mm in length. The inside diameter of the tube socket
must be at least 30 mm as the electrical connec t ion of
the CLIMA SENSOR US is carried out at the bottom of
the device. After connection the CLIMA SENSOR US is
then mounted on the tube or mast socket. The marking
for north on the device must be aligned to north (see
section 4.2.1). The device is fixed to the shaft with the
two Allen screws (AF 4 mm).

Caution:

The allen screws must be
tightened to 2 Nm

2.1.1 Alignment to north

For exact determination of the wind and Brightness
direction the CLIMA SENSOR US must be installed
aligned to north (true north) .

When aligning t he device, t he m ar ki ng f or nor t h ( N)
must point to north (true nor th). To do so, select a
conspicuous feature of the landsc ape t o t he nor th or
south with a compass and turn the mast or sensor unt il
the marking for nor th points to true north.
When aligning t he device to nor t h using a compass, bear
in mind the magnetic variation (= deviation in the
direction of the compass needle from true north) and
possible interference from m agnetic fields (e.g. iron
parts, electric cables).

The lower edge of the sensor base is equipped with a
bore for north aligned to the marking for north. T his
bore allows a mast adapter with a pin for north to be
used here. The mast adapter is not included in t he scope
of supply.

2.2 Electrical installation / Start-up

1. The connection of the ClimaSensor US to the interface module and power supply unit
differs, depending on t he inst r um ent variant. You have to distinguish between the
connection types full-duplex and half-duplex with cable 16pole or resp. 8pole. Information
on the duplex-mode are given by parameter DM on the supplemental sheet “Factory
settings” of the ClimaSensor US.

The following table serves for the circ uit diagram selection. The following assignm ent s
apply:

Table 1: Selection Connection Diagram

2. Connect the supplied 8pole or resp. 16pole cable to the power supply unit 9.3389.20.000,
acc. to the connection diagram, s ee Table 1.

3. Put the plug of the 8pole or resp. 16pole cable into the ClimaSensor US.

4. Connect the USB/RS485 interface converter to the power supply unit 9.3389.20. 000.

5. Connect the 230V / 115V line to the power supply unit

9.3389.20.000.

6. Insert the included CD into the CD-ROM drive of your
PC.

7. Start the program “T hiesDeviceUtilityStartup. exe” from
the included CD.

8. For installation of the interface t r ansduc er select the
button “install driver for USB RS485 converter”.

9. Connect the USB/RS485 interface converter and your
PC by means of the included USB-cable.

10. For starting the program “T hiesDeviceUtility.exe” select the but t on “Start Thies
DeviceUtility” in the program
“ThiesDeviceUtilityStartup”.

11. After the program start select t he but ton “Search”.

12. The program searches for connected instruments,
