Young Wind Monitors
1. Introduction
The 05103, 05103-45, 05106, and 05305 Wind Monitor sensors are used to
measure horizontal wind speed and direction. The 05305 is a high
performance version of the 05103 designed to meet PSD specifications for air
quality applications. The 05103-45 is an alpine version that discourages ice
buildup. The 05106 is recommended for marine applications.
Before installing the Wind Monitor, please study
• Section 2, Cautionary Statements
• Section 3, Initial Inspection
• Section 4, Quickstart
2. Cautionary Statements
• The Wind Monitor is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
• If the Wind Monitor 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 Wind Monitor 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 Wind Monitor, inspect the packaging and contents for
damage. File damage claims with the shipping company. Immediately
check package contents against the shipping documentation (see Section
3.1, Ships With). 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.
