If You Do Not See Current Wind Readings
Refer to your ISS Installation Manual or Anemometer Transmitter Kit Manual.
Note: It is assumed that the ISS or Anemometer Transmitter Kit has been installed and tested as
instructed in the ISS or Anemometer Transmitter Kit manual.
A Note on Securing Cables
Prevent fraying or cutting of cables by securing them so they will not whip
about in the wind. Secure a cable to a metal pole by wrapping electrical tape
around them both. Placing clips or ties approximately every 3 – 5ʹ (1 – 1.6 m)
Note: Do not use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables. Metal staples — especially when
installed with a staple gun — have a tendency to cut the cables.
Secure any unused cable by coiling and taping coil to the pole, or hanging it on a
hook on the post. Place the coil at least 6ʺ away from the antenna.
Troubleshooting
“The propeller or wind cups are spinning but my console displays 0 mph.”
The signal from the wind cups is not being received by the console. Check
your cables for visible nicks and cuts. Look for corrosion in the WIND
jack on the Sensor Interface Module and on splices in the cable (if any). If
none of these steps solve the problem, call Tech Support to ask for a wind
test cable.
“Wind readings aren’t what I expected them to be.”
Be very careful. Comparing to measurements from TV, radio, newspa‐
pers, or a neighbor is NOT a valid method of verifying your readings. If
you have questions, contact your anemometer manufacturer.
