INSTALLATION
PROPER INSTALLATION IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, CONSULT A CONTRACTOR, ELECTRICIAN
OR TELEVISION ANTENNA INSTALLER (CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING SUPPLY, OR HARDWARE STORE
FOR REFERRALS). TO PROMOTE CONFIDENCE, PERFORM A TRIAL WIRING BEFORE INSTALLATION.
When connecting the wind direction sensor
to the Z-mast, make certain that terminal #4
is aligned with the Z-mast arm. If the sensor
is not installed in this manner your wind
direction readings will be incorrect.
Slide the stub masts through the rubber boots and
insert the stub masts into the bottom of the sensors. Secure
with the cotter pins. Coat all wire connections with silicone
sealant and slip the boots over the sensors.

observed. Use the hex nuts provided. (Do NOT adjust the nuts that are
already on the wind direction sensor).

Feed the teminal lug end of the black and white wires through
one of the rubber boots and connect the lugs to the terminals on the
bottom of the wind speed sensor using the brass nuts provided. The polarity
does not matter. (Do NOT adjust the nuts that are already on the sensor).
Determine where you are going to locate both the
rooftop sensors and the read-out.

Secure the sensors and stub masts to your antenna mast (not supplied) with
the two hose clamps. Align the wind-direction Z-mast arm to true North.
Radio Shack and similar stores have a selection of tall masts and roof
mounting brackets. Choose a mount that best suits your location and
provides at least eight feet of vertical clearance above objects on the roof.
