4.1 Step 1 — Mount the Sensor
FIGURE 4-1 shows a 05103 installed with a 17953 Nurail® * . Please review
Section 7, Installation, for siting and other guidelines.
Install the 05103 using:
• 3659 12 inch aluminum pipe
• CM220 Right-Angle Mounting Kit, or
• 17953 1 x 1 inch Nurail® Crossover Fitting
1. Secure the propeller to its shaft using the nut provided with the sensor.
2. Mount a CM202, CM204, or CM206 crossarm to a tripod or tower.
3. Orient the crossarm North-South, with the 17953 Nurail® on the north
end. Appendix A contains detailed information on determining true north
using a compass and the magnetic declination for the site.
4. Secure the 3659 12 inch aluminum pipe to the 17953 Nurail®. The 3659
aluminum pipe is shipped with the Wind Monitor.
5. Place the orientation ring, followed by the Wind Monitor on the aluminum
pipe.
6. Orient the junction box to the south, and tighten the band clamps on the
orientation ring and aluminum pipe. Final sensor orientation is done after
the datalogger has been programmed to measure wind direction as
described in Appendix A.
7. Use the torpedo level to ensure that the Wind Monitor is level.
8. Route the sensor cable along the underside of the crossarm to the tripod or
tower, and to the instrument enclosure.
9. Secure the cable to the crossarm and tripod or tower using cable ties.
