024A Met-One Wind Direction Sensor
1. Introduction
The 024A is a wind vane manufactured by Met One. It measures wind
direction only and is traditionally used in tandem with Met One’s 014A Wind
Speed Sensor.
Before installing the 024A, please study
• Section 2, Cautionary Statements
• Section 3, Initial Inspection
• Section 4, Quickstart
2. Cautionary Statements
• The 024A is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
• If the 024A is to be installed at heights over 6 feet, be familiar with tower
safety and follow safe tower climbing procedures.
• Danger—Use extreme care when working near overhead electrical wires.
Check for overhead wires before mounting the 024A or before raising a
tower.
• The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This
compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture,
and UV degradation. However, this jacket will support combustion in air.
It is rated as slow burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will
pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.
3. Initial Inspection
• Upon receipt of the 024A, inspect the packaging and contents for damage.
File damage claims with the shipping company. Immediately check
package contents against the shipping documentation. Contact Campbell
Scientific about any discrepancies.
• The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the
connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping
documents to ensure the expected product and cable length are received.
