7.2 Wind Speed
Symptom: No wind speed
1.
Check that the sensor is wired to the Pulse channel specified by the Pulse
count instruction.
2.
Disconnect the sensor from the datalogger and use an ohm meter to check
the coil. The resistance between the red and black wires should be about
2075 ohms. Infinite resistance indicates an open coil; low resistance
indicates a shorted coil.
3.
Verify that the Configuration Code, and Multiplier and Offset parameters
for the Pulse Count instruction are correct for the datalogger type.
Symptom: Wind speed does not change
1.
For the dataloggers that are programmed with Edlog, the input location
for wind speed is not updated if the datalogger is getting “Program Table
Overruns”. Increase the execution interval (scan rate) to prevent
overruns.
