CS800-L CLIMATRONICS WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION SENSOR 1. GENERAL The CS800-L sensors meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements for measuring wind speed and direction. The sensors are mounted to a prewired crossarm, which mounts to 3/4” IPS (1.05 inch O.D.) vertical pipe stub. The 019ALU crossarm is required to mount the CS800-L to the UT930 10m tower as shown in Figure 1, which allows the lightning rod to be attached directly to the mast.

SPECIFICATIONS 2.1 PERFORMANCE AND ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS Performance Speed Wind Wind Direction Accuracy Threshold Distance Constant Damping Ratio Operating Range 0.25 mph or 1.5% <1 mph 8.0 ft. of air max ± 3° <1 mph 8.0 ft. of air max 0.4 to 0.6 at 10° displacement 0 - 360° - mechanical 0 - 125 mph Signal Output 20-hole photo chopper, amplitude dependent on supply voltage; frequency proportional to wind speed: mph − 0.3 Freq (Hz) = .
CS800-L CLIMATRONICS WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION SENSOR 3. INSTALLATION 3.1 SITING As a rule of thumb, wind sensors should be located away from obstructions (e.g., trees or buildings) by a horizontal distance of at least ten times the height of the obstruction. If it is necessary to mount the sensors on the roof of a building, the height of the sensors above the roof should be at least 1.5 times the height of the building. 3.2 SENSOR MOUNTING enclosure.

CS800-L CLIMATRONICS WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION SENSOR 3 month: 7. TROUBLESHOOTING • 7.1 WIND DIRECTION Measure bearing torque to determine if bearings need replacement (unless bearings are being replaced on a periodic schedule). For a 1 mph starting threshold, bearing torque should not exceed 0.28 gcm for the anemometer, and 6.0 g-cm for the vane.
