Met One 014A Wind Speed Sensor
7. Installation
If you are programming your datalogger with Short Cut, skip Section 7.3,
Wiring, and Section 7.4, Programming. Short Cut does this work for you. See
Section 4, Quickstart, for a Short Cut tutorial.
7.1 Siting
Locate wind sensors away from obstructions (for example, trees and buildings).
As a general rule, there should be a horizontal distance of at least ten times the
height of the obstruction between the sensor and the obstruction. If it is
necessary to mount the sensors on the roof of a building, the height of the
sensors, above the roof, should be at least 1.5 times the height of the building.
See Section 10, References, for a list of references that discuss siting wind
speed and direction sensors.
7.2 Mounting Options
The 014A can be attached to a CM200-series crossarm via a 1049 NU-RAIL
fitting or a CM220 Right Angle Mounting Bracket. The procedure for using
these mounts is provided in the quickstart (Section 4.1.3, Mount to a Tripod or
Tower).
Alternatively, the 014A can be attached to the top of a CM106B, CM110,
CM115, or CM120 tripod via the CM216 Sensor Mounting Kit. The CM216
extends 10 cm (4 in) above the mast of the tripod.
