5. Overview

The 014A is constructed of corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel and anodized

aluminum. Its three-cup anemometer assembly contains a sealed magnetic reed

switch. Rotation of the cup wheel produces a pulse that is directly proportional

to wind speed.

The accompanying Met One manual contains additional information on

operating principals, installation, and maintenance.

The –L portion of the model number indicates that the 014A has a user-

specified cable length. TABLE 5-1 gives the recommended lead length for

mounting the sensor at the top of the tripod/tower with a CM202 crossarm.
