MOUNTING AND START-UP
1.For best visibility, place the Wind Tracker in a location free of direct sunlight. Mount it using the attached bracket or remove bracketforflushmountingtoabulkheadorpanelcutout.Panel cutout dimensions are given in the specifications.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.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Please observe correct position of back-panel Input Selector Switch 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.Whenpowerisapplied,theWindTrackerwilldisplayfirmware 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 confirm proper operation.
CHANGING SETTINGS
