8. If LoggerNet, PC400, RTDAQ, or PC200W is running on your PC,
and the PC to datalogger connection is active, you can click
Finish in
Short Cut and you will be prompted to send the program just created
to the datalogger.
9. If the sensor is connected to the datalogger, as shown in the wiring
diagram in step 6, check the output of the sensor in the datalogger
support software data display to make sure it is making reasonable
measurements.
5. Overview
The 034B, Wind Set is used to measure horizontal wind speed and direction.
Wind speed is measured with a three cup anemometer. Rotation of the cup
wheel opens and closes a reed switch at a rate proportional to wind speed.
Vane position is transmitted by a 10 kΩ potentiometer. With a precision
excitation voltage applied, the output voltage is proportional to wind direction.
The accompanying Met One manual contains additional information on the
operating principals, installation, and maintenance of the sensor. The Met One
manual is also available at their website
Cable length for the 034B is specified when the sensor is ordered. TABLE 5-1
gives the recommended cable length for mounting the sensor at the top of the
tripod/tower with a CM202 crossarm.

The 034B’s cable can terminate in:
•
Pigtails that connect directly to a Campbell Scientific datalogger
(option –PT).
•
Connector that attaches to a prewired enclosure (option –PW). Refer
to
or more information.
•
Connector that attaches to a CWS900, Wireless Sensor Interface
(option –CWS). The CWS900 allows the 034B to be used in a
wireless sensor network. Refer to
