Mounting on Horizontal Cross Arm
When mounting WMT700 to a cross arm, the wind sensor can be placed
with the array facing up or down. Mounting WMT700 with the array
facing down provides additional protection against the accumulation of
snow and interference from birds. The adapter drains located at the
bottom of WMT700 prevent water from accumulating inside the
mounting adapter. If the wind sensor is installed with the array facing
down, you must configure WMT700 accordingly. For configuration
instructions, see section Configuration Parameters on page 81.
Figure 18 on page 45 and Figure 19 on page 46 show the mounting
procedure.
To mount WMT700 on a cross arm:
1. Attach the FIX70 mounting kit to the cross arm with U bolts
(provided). Insert the U bolts to the vertical slots of the FIX70
mounting kit. See number 3 in Figure 18 on page 45.
2. Check that the mounting kit is not tilted to either side. Tighten the
U bolts firmly.
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 shown 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 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 4 in Figure 18 on page 45, tighten the screw.
5. Remove the transportation damper protecting the array and store it
for future use.
6. Align the horizontal cross arm. 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.
