Compass Calibration (WM 200, 300)

If necessary, to correct for the presence of

ferrous metals, the compass can be calibrated.

Go to compass mode press and hold SET/EL

key till display shows “COMPASS CAL”

(blinking). Turn the unit in a vertical position as

shown. Turn the unit around twice, 15 sec per

turn, as shown. After completing the 2 turns

press SET/EL key to confirm calibration. If the

display shows “END” the calibration is

successful. If the display shows “ERR” redo the

calibration process.

Getting Started

Open your WindMate

to 180

as shown. If using

a tripod, open your WindMate

to a 90

angle as

shown above to access the tripod fitting.

To turn the unit on or off, press and hold Mode

key for about 3 sec. You can turn off the unit at

any mode. If the unit is idle for 5 minutes, it will

auto shut down to preserve battery life.

When taking wind measurements by hand, make sure to

keep the WindMate

at arm’s length from the body with the

display facing towards you so the wind will enter the wind

impeller through the rear. Use the wind vane to orient the

wind meter so you are on the wind’s axis. This will give you

the most accurate measurement.

CAUTION: The WindMate

is very accurate at low and

mid-range air speeds. Consistent use at very high speeds,

such as from a fast-moving car, will damage the impeller’s

bearing and reduce its accuracy. See below for impeller

replacement.

Digital Wind Direction (WM 200, 300)

Point the WindMate

directly into the wind and select

Compass mode. The edge of the wind vane will point

directly towards you. Wind direction is displayed digitally

and in compass points.

The compass feature can also compute the cross and

head/tail wind. Point the meter in the direction of travel or

target and get a steady compass reading. Press and hold

Units key until MARK stops blinking. Release Units key

and point the meter into the wind until you have a steady

compass reading. Press and hold Units key until MARK

stops blinking. The meter will display cross wind and to view

head wind press the Units Key. The computed cross and

head/tail wind may indicate a minus (–) sign. The minus (–)

sign will indicate the wind is coming from the back, while no

sign will indicate that the wind is coming from the front. To

exit, press Mode.

Using the Wind Meter Functions

When the unit is turned on for the first time, the default

mode is wind speed. Going to other modes or features is

simply done by pressing the Mode button.

Pressing Units Key at any mode, except Compass and

Humidity (WM 200, 300 only), changes the unit to your

preferred measurement unit. Units of measurement

sequence is shown below for each model.

Sequence for WM 100

• Wind speed – displays real time wind speed

• Max. wind speed – displays the max. wind speed

• Avg. wind speed – 5 sec

• Avg. wind speed – 10 sec

• Avg. wind speed – 13 sec

Max. / Avg. / Wind Speed

MPH---->KMPH---->MPS---->FPM---->BF---->KNT

Average Wind Speed (WM 100 only)

The WM 100 is equipped with 3 average wind speed options

5, 10 and 13 sec. Select the desired time duration in which

the unit will calculate the average wind speed. Press the

ST/EL key to start the count down. When the count down

reaches zero the average wind speed will be shown. To

take another average wind speed press ST/EL key.

Setting the Comfort Index™ (WM 300)

Accuweather.com® Comfort Index™ is the effect of temp,

relative humidity, wind speed & sun intensity on the human

body. You can adjust the formula based on sun intensity.

The solar factor has a range of 0 to 3.0 with a default setting

of 1.5 (medium sun intensity). Example: Full sun = 3.0;

Heavy clouds = 0. To change, press and hold SET/EL key.

Press Units key to adjust the current value of the solar

factor and press SET/EL to confirm and exit the setting

mode.

Replacing the Battery (All models)

The unit uses a CR2032 Lithium battery. Turn the unit to the

back. Use a coin to turn battery cover as indicated by the

arrow. Insert the battery with the printed side facing you and

close the battery door.

Changing the Wind Impeller (All models)

WindMate

impellers can be replaced. Contact your dealer,

distributor or WeatherHawk for parts and instructions.

Your instrument has a 2-year warranty. Please save your
