Figure 16 on page 42 and Figure 17 on page 43 show the mounting
procedure.
To mount WMT700 on a pole mast:
1. Attach the FIX70 mounting kit either to the side or on top of the
vertical pole mast with U bolts (provided).
Insert the U bolts to the horizontal slots of the FIX70 mounting kit,
see number 4 in Figure 16 on page 42 and Figure 17 on page 43.
2. Check that the mounting kit is not tilted to either side. Tighten the
U bolts only slightly.
Do not tighten the bolts too much at this stage because you still
need to rotate the mounting kit to align WMT700 after the
installation.
3. Run the cable through the FIX70 mounting kit. Connect the cable
to the wind sensor. Tighten the connector by rotating the connector
by hand clockwise as illustrated in Figure 20 on page 47. Ensure
that the connector is properly tightened before proceeding to the
next step.
4. Hold the wind sensor from the enclosure, and slide the sensor into
the mounting kit. Turn the sensor so that the mounting screw slides
into the appropriate slot. Do not touch the array when handling
WMT700.
To avoid misalignment, turn the sensor until the screw reaches the
far end of the slot. When the screw is in the position indicated with
number 3 in Figure 16 on page 42 or number 2 in Figure 17 on
page 43, tighten the screw.
5. Remove the transportation damper protecting the array and store it
for future use.
6. Align WMT700. For instructions, see section Alignment on page
48.
7.
Connect the cable to the data acquisition system and power supply.
Connect the wires according to section Wiring on page 52.
WMT700 is now ready for operation.
NOTE
When installing WMT700 to the side of a mast, make sure that the
mounting kit is positioned at the top level of the mast. See Figure 16 on
page 42.
