direct sunlight. Mount it using the attached bracket or remove
bracket for ush mounting to a bulkhead or panel cutout. Panel
cutout dimensions are given in the specications. An optional
rack mounting panel (Model 06280) and protective enclosure
(Model 06260) are available from your YOUNG supplier.

2. Connect cables to terminals according to wiring diagram.

3. Connect GND terminal to suitable earth ground.

4. Insert power supply plug into power jack, plug power supply
into a suitable AC wall outlet or connect to suitable 12 to 30
VDC power source to terminals.

IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not connect more than one power

source to the Wind Tracker at the same time.

5. When power is applied, the Wind Tracker will display rmware
version number then begin to display wind information as
follows:

• Wind speed

• Wind speed units

• Maximum wind speed or direction degrees

• Wind direction (single orange indicator)

• Direction variability (green indicators)

• Alarm status indicators (if selected)

• Wind speed & direction averaging indicator (if selected)

6. Observe display to conrm proper operation.

CHANGING SETTINGS

Wind Tracker parameters may be inspected or changed in SETUP
mode which is enabled by simultaneously pressing both ENTER
and SELECT keys for about 4 seconds. When SETUP mode is
active, abbreviations identify each function and available options
as listed below. The SELECT key changes options or values. The

ENTER key saves and moves to the next parameter.

Appearance of options depends on parameter settings. Some
options may be hidden.

OPERATION

ALARMS

Wind speed and direction alarms each have their own set-point,
LED status indicator, and relay contacts. The Alarm Delay parameter
establishes time duration in or out of the set-point range needed
for the alarm to change state. Front panel LEDs indicate alarm
status during operation.

LED Off = Alarm not armed and OFF. Relay open
LED Steady = Alarm armed and OFF. Relay open
LED Blinking = Alarm armed and ON. Relay closed.
Audible beep if Sound parameter is enabled.

AVERAGING

When averaging is enabled, the front-panel AVG annunciator is
illuminated, and average wind speed and direction values are
displayed at intervals set by the Period (PEr) parameter. When
averaging is disabled, instantaneous wind values are displayed.

BRIGHTNESS

Adjust display brightness by pressing and holding the left BRIGHT
key for 1 second.

MAXIMUM or WIND DIRECTION DISPLAY

Either MAXIMUM WIND SPEED GUST or numerical WIND
DIRECTION appears during operation depending on Right Display
Window (dSP) parameter setting. Maximum gust may be reset
during normal operation by pressing and holding the RESET key
for 1 second.

REMOTE DISPLAYS

When set for any non-serial input, the Wind Tracker functions
as a master display source for other Wind Trackers which have
been congured for remote display with InP=SEr. The master
Wind Tracker must also be set for binary serial output (Out=bin).

MASTER: Sensor InP = any non-serial device, Out=bin
REMOTE: Sensor InP = SEr

Connect one Wind Tracker master to up to 16 remote displays
via the RS-485 terminals as shown in wiring diagrams. Remote
Wind Trackers display exactly the same information as the master
including alarm states. MAX RESET and all display features are
controlled by the master unit only. Brightness can be adjusted
independently at each Wind Tracker display.

VOLTAGE OUTPUTS

Calibrated voltage outputs for wind speed and direction are updated
16 times per second. Wind Speed 0-100 m/s = 0.00 to 5.00 VDC.
Wind Direction may be scaled for either 0-360 or 0-540 degrees =

0.00 to 5.00 VDC by setting the Direction (dir) parameter.

4-20 mA INPUTS

The Wind Tracker accepts 4-20 mA Line Driver inputs with either
0-50 m/s or 0-100 m/s scaling (Ldi and Ld2 input settings). Connect
as shown in wiring diagram. The back-panel switch labeled 4-20
mA must be in the UP position. 24VDC power is recommended
for most 4-20 mA installations.

POWER CONNECTIONS

The Wind Tracker operates from a 12 to 30 VDC power source.
Power may be connected via the coaxial jack or terminals. These
are internally wired in together so DO NOT CONNECT MORE
THAN ONE POWER SOURCE AT THE SAME TIME. See wiring
diagrams for examples.
