How to install
- Move the anemometer to a safe working level if necessary noting its orientation before removal.
- Locate the hex bolt on the side of the wind cups, unless these are missing, and loosen. There is no need to fully remove the hex bolt.
- Pull the cups straight down to remove.
- Locate the large black cross head screw on the existing cartridge and fully remove.
- Whilst keeping the top section of the anemometer head held in place install the new cartridge and screw into position.
- Replace the wind cups onto the shaft. There is no correct orientation.
- Tighten the wind cups using the hex bolt on the side until this grips the metal shaft. A gentle pull up will ensure they are secure.
- Test by spinning and checking a reading registers.
- Return the sensor suite to its original location and orientation.
If you have lost your Allen key to remove the hex bolt, these are available as a spare item.
