NOR’EASTER
INSTALLATION (cont.)
7. Bring the Nor’easter read-out and the 2-wire rooftop cable to the location where you wish to install it.
At the back of the readout, locate the two colored wires with bare ends. Insert one of the colored
wires into one of the supplied splice connectors.
8. Insert one of the black wires from the 2-wire rooftop cable into the same splice connector.
9. Hold the splice connector so the yellow-button side is facing down. Check to make sure the wires are
inserted all the way into the connector points and crimp the button using a common pair of pliers.
Important: DO NOT over crimp!
10. Repeat the procedure for the remaining two wires.
11. Connect the 120V AC Adaptor or a quality 9V alkaline battery to the battery clip in the cavity of the
back of the read-out. When the cups on the rooftop wind speed sensor are rotating, a 2-digit wind
reading will show on the display. In normal wind conditions, a fresh alkaline battery will last
approximately 2 months.
12. If powered by battery, carefully sit the battery within the cavity in the rear of the block. It is best to
align the top of the battery (where the clip connects) on the same side as the hole in the rear of the
block.
13. The Nor’easter read-out may be wall mounted using the keyhole slots, or it can stand alone on any
horizontal surface.
14. Nor’easter samples and displays wind conditions every 3.4 seconds. The 2-digit display will actually
provide readings for winds up to 200 MPH, as shown below:
Actual Wind Speed: 100 120 150 200
Nor’easter Display: 00 20 50 00
If desirable, you may have up to two additional Nor’easter read-outs in different locations within your
home, without the need for any additional rooftop generators. Each read-out must have either AC or
battery power. The additional read-outs simply connect in parallel to each other as shown in the diagram
on the next page.
The displays may be up to 500 feet apart. Most two conductor cable ranging from 18-26 AWG can be
used as an interconnect cable (e.g. speaker wire, bell wire, etc…).
