Campbell 05103 Instruction Manual - 3. Installation
05103, 05106, and 05305 R.M. Young Wind Monitors
The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene
®
rubber. This
compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes,
moisture, and UV degradation. However, this jacket will
support combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when
tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302.
Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.
NOTE
3. Installation
3.1 Siting
Locate wind sensors away from obstructions (e.g. trees and building). As a
general rule of thumb there should be a horizontal distance of at least ten times
the height of the obstruction between the windset and the obstruction. If it is
necessary to mount the sensors on the roof of a building, the height of the
sensors above the roof, should be at least 1.5 times the height of the building.
See Section 9 for a list of references that discuss siting wind speed and
direction sensors.
3.2 Assembly and Mounting
Tools Required:
• 5/64” Allen wrench
• 1/2” open end wrench
• compass and declination angle for the site (see Appendix A)
• small screw driver provided with datalogger
• UV resistant cable ties
• small pair of diagonal-cutting pliers
• 6 - 10” torpedo level
Install the propeller to the propeller shaft using the nut provided with the
sensor.
The 05103 mounts to a standard 1” IPS schedule 40 pipe (1.31” O.D.). A 12”
long mounting pipe ships with the 03001 for attaching the sensor to a 019ALU
(Figure 3-1), or CM200 series crossarm with the CM220 or PN 1049 (Figures
3-2 and 3-3). The 05103 can also be mounted to a CM110 series tripod mast
with the CM216 Mast Mounting Kit.
Mount the 019ALU or CM200 series crossarm to the tripod or tower. Orient
the crossarm North-South, with the 1” Nu-Rail or CM220 on the North end.
Appendix A contains detailed information on determining true north using a
compass and the magnetic declination for the site.
Secure the mounting pipe to the 019ALU or CM220. Place the orientation
ring, followed by the 05103 on the mounting pipe. Orient the junction box to
the south, and tighten the band clamps on the orientation ring and mounting
post. Final sensor orientation is done after the datalogger has been
programmed to measure wind direction as described in Appendix A.
Route the sensor cable along the underside of the crossarm to the tower/tripod
mast, and to the instrument enclosure. Secure the sensor cable to the crossarm
and mast using cable ties.
