A100LK Anemometer
1. Introduction
The Windspeed Ltd Model A100LK Anemometer is an IEC and MEASNET
rated instrument recommended for wind energy applications where a Class 1
anemometer is required. It is primarily used in wind speed resource
assessments and in wind turbine power performance monitoring. The “-L”
designation after the A100LK model number designates a cable length.
Before installing the A100LK, please study
• Section 2, Cautionary Statements
• Section 3, Initial Inspection
• Section 4, Quickstart
2. Cautionary Statements
• The A100LK is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
• If the A100LK 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 A100LK or before raising a
tower.
3. Initial Inspection
• Upon receipt of the A100LK, inspect the packaging and contents for
damage. File damage claims with the shipping company. Immediately
check package contents against the shipping documentation. 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.
• Each A100LK anemometer is shipped with a MEASNET calibration
certificate that contains information concerning where the anemometer
was calibrated, the calibration procedure used, the calibration equation
obtained, and the serial number of the anemometer. Cross check the serial
number in the calibration certificate against the serial number on the
anemometer to ensure that the given sensitivity value corresponds to your
sensor.
