NOR’EASTER

INSTALLATION

PROPER INSTALLATION IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, CONSULT A CONTRACTOR,

ELECTRICIAN OR TELEVISION ANTENNA INSTALLER (CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING SUPPLY

OR HARDWARE STORE FOR REFERALS). TO PROMOTE CONFIDENCE, PERFORM A TRIAL

WIRING BEFORE INSTALLATION.

1. Determine where you are going to locate both the rooftop sensor and the Nor’easter read-out.

There are lugs on the rooftop end of the 2-wire cable and bare ends on

the indoor connection. Run the cable from the indoor read-out, to the

rooftop wind speed generator.

2. Outside, feed the terminal lug end of the 2-wire cable through the

rubber boot and connect the lugs to the brass terminal posts on bottom

of the wind speed generator (polarity does not matter) and secure them

using the brass hex nuts provided in the hardware pack.

(Important: DO NOT adjust the hex nuts that are already on the sensor).

3. Slide the straight stub mast through

the rubber boot and insert the mast

into the bottom of the wind speed

generator. Secure the generator to

the straight stub mast using the

supplied cotter pin. Coat all wire

connections with a silicone sealant

and slip the boot over the sensor.

4. Using the two stainless steel hose

clamps, attach the straight stub

mast to an appropriate base mast

NOTE: For correct wind speed

readings, the generator should be

mounted a minimum of 8 feet above

your roof, as shown in the diagram.

5. Follow the instructions supplied with the antenna mount and secure the

mast to the mount.

6. Secure the cable to the mast with cable ties or electrical tape so that

rubbing on the mast will not damage it. Secure the wire to the house

using cable clips (DO NOT staple the cable). Form a drip loop where

the wire enters the hole through an exterior wall. Feed an appropriate

length of cable into the house and caulk the hole when done.

NOR’EASTER INSTALLATION (cont.) 7. Bring the Nor’easter read-out and the 2-wire rooftop cable to the location where you wish to install it. At the back of the readout, locate the two colored wires with bare ends. Insert one of the colored wires into one of the supplied splice connectors. 8. Insert one of the black wires from the 2-wire rooftop cable into the same splice connector. 9. Hold the splice connector so the yellow-button side is facing down.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Components: Along with the indicator, the following components are included with this instrument: Wind speed generator: To insure a clear unobstructed path for the wind to the wind speed generator, it should be mounted on a mast at least 8-10’ above the highest object on your roof. Remember, your roof is also an obstruction and it usually requires at least 8’ of height to avoid the turbulence it creates.

Electrical Damage – Common Causes & Recommended Prevention Electrical damage can be caused by many different factors. Below are some of the more common causes and some suggested methods of minimizing potential problems. Common Causes: Storm Activity – lightening in your area can do damage to your instruments in different ways. The obvious way is due to a direct or nearby strike.
