Setup

1. Mount the Wind Cup Sensor: Choose an elevated location free from obstructions to ensure accurate wind measurement. Use the provided mounting bracket and accessories to securely fasten the wind cup sensor. The mounting aperture for the wind cup is 4 cm (1.6 inches).
2. Connect the Wind Cup Sensor Cable: Connect the 8-meter (26.2 feet) cable from the wind cup sensor to the designated input port on the display unit. Ensure the connection is firm and waterproof.
3. Mount the Display Unit: Install the display unit in a convenient and protected location using its mounting aperture (approx. 9.7x5.3 cm / 3.8x2.1 inches).
4. Power Connection: Connect the display unit to a 220V power source. The device also supports USB 5V power, which may be used for auxiliary functions or specific components. Ensure the correct power input is used for each component as specified.
5. Initial Power On: Once all connections are secure, apply power to the unit. The display should illuminate, indicating the device is operational.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: After successful setup and power connection, the device will automatically power on and begin measuring wind speed.
2. Reading Wind Speed: The current wind speed will be displayed on the digital screen of the main unit. The unit of measurement is typically meters per second (m/s), but refer to the display for specific indicators.
3. Alarm Function: The anemometer is equipped with an alarm function. When the wind speed reaches a predefined level, the device will activate an alarm and automatically cut off power to connected equipment for safety. Specific alarm threshold settings may be configurable via the display unit's interface, though detailed instructions for setting these are not provided in the general product description. Consult the device's on-screen menu or additional documentation if available.
4. Power-Off Memory: The integrated CMOS chip ensures that settings and recorded data are retained even after a power loss, saving time and energy upon restart.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the wind cup sensor and display unit with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials. Ensure the wind cups rotate freely.
• Connection Check: Regularly inspect all cables and connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure they remain securely fastened and waterproof.
• Sensor Inspection: Check the wind cup sensor for any physical damage or debris that might impede its rotation.
• Environmental Protection: While designed for durability, ensure the device is not subjected to unnecessary physical impact or extreme environmental stress.

Troubleshooting

• No Power/Display:
  • Check the 220V power connection and ensure the outlet is functional.
  • Verify the USB 5V connection if used for the display unit.
  • Inspect all cables for damage.
• Inaccurate Wind Speed Readings:
  • Ensure the wind cup sensor is mounted in an unobstructed location.
  • Check that the wind cups rotate freely and are not damaged or dirty.
  • Verify the cable connection between the sensor and the display unit.
• Alarm Not Functioning:
  • Confirm the device is powered on and receiving wind speed data.
  • Check if the alarm threshold is set correctly (if configurable).
  • Ensure there are no internal faults by restarting the device.
