and 05305 R.M. Young Wind Monitors
1. Introduction
The 05103, 05103-45, 05106, 05108, 05108-45 and 05305 Wind Monitor sensors
are used to measure horizontal wind speed and direction. The 05305 is a high
performance version of the 05103 designed to meet PSD specifications for air
quality applications. The 05103-45 is an alpine version that discourages ice
buildup. The 05106 is recommended for marine applications. The 05108 is a
heavy duty wind monitor that greatly extends service life and the 05108-45 is a
heavy duty wind monitor suitable for alpine applications.
Wind Monitors purchased directly from R.M. Young will be wired
differently and may not have the 1 MΩ resistor used to short the
readings in the dead band to ground.
Before installing the Wind Monitor, please study
Section 2, Cautionary Statements
Section 3, Initial Inspection
Section 4, Quickstart
2. Cautionary Statements
The Wind Monitor is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care
Do not use cable lengths greater than 30 m (9ft) in electrically noisy
environments.
If the Wind Monitor is to be installed at heights over 6 feet, be familiar with
tower safety and follow safe tower climbing procedures.
Danger —Use extreme care when working near overhead electrical wires.
Check for overhead wires before mounting the Wind Monitor or before
raising a tower.
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.
Wire colour and functions of sensors purchased through Campbell Scientific
may not correspond with the wire colours and functions given in the
manuacturer’s manual. to ensure proper function, follow the wiring provided
in Short Cut or in the Campbell Scientific manual.
Wind monitors purchased directly from R.M. Young may not have the 1 MΩ
resistor used to short the readings in the dead band to ground.

3. Initial Inspection
Upon receipt of the Wind Monitor, inspect the packaging and contents for
damage. File damage claims with the shipping company. Immediately check
package contents against the shipping documentation (see Section 3.1, Ships
With).
Contact Campbell Scientific about any discrepancies.
The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the connection
end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping documents to
ensure the expected product and cable length are received.

5. Overview
Wind speed is measured with a helicoid-shaped, four-blade propeller. Rotation of
the propeller produces an AC sine wave signal with frequency proportional to
wind speed.
Vane position is transmitted by a 10 kpotentiometer. With a precision
excitation voltage applied, the output voltage is proportional to wind direction.
The R.M. Young Instruction Manual includes additional information on the
operating principles, installation, and maintenance of the sensor.
6. Specifications
Table 6-1, Table 6-2 and Table 6-3 provide the wind speed, wind direction and
physical specifications, respectively.
Features:
Rugged enough for harsh environments
Constructed with thermoplastic material that resists corrosion from sea-
air environments and atmospheric pollutant
Ideal for wind profile studies
Compatible with the LLAC4 4-channel Low Level AC Conversion
Module, which increases the number of anemometers one datalogger can
measure
Compatible with Campbell Scientific CRBasic dataloggers: CR200(X)
series, CR300 series, CR6 series, CR800 series, CR1000, CR3000,
CR5000 and CR9000(X).

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.
7. Installation
7.1 Siting
Locate wind sensors away from obstructions (for example, trees and building).
Generally, there should be a horizontal distance of at least ten times the height of
the obstruction between the windset and the obstruction. If the sensors need to be
mounted on a roof, the height of the sensors above the roof, should be at least 1.5
times the height of the building. See Section 10, References, for a list of
references that discuss siting wind speed and direction sensors.
7.2 Assembly and Mounting
Tools Required:
5/64 inch Allen wrench
1/2 inch open end wrench
compass and declination angle for the site (see Appendix C)
small screw driver provided with datalogger
UV resistant cable ties
small pair of diagonal-cutting pliers
6 –10 inch torpedo level
Install the propeller to its shaft using the nut provided with the sensor.
The Wind Monitor mounts to a standard 1 inch IPS schedule 40 pipe (1.31 inch
O.D.). A 12 inch long mounting pipe ships with the Wind Monitor for attaching
the sensor to a CM200-series crossarm with the CM220 (Figure 7-1) or 008285
Nurail® fitting (Figure 4-1 in Quickstart section). The 05103 can also be mounted
to a CM110 series tripod mast with the CM216 Mast Mounting Kit (see Figure
7-2).
Mount the CM200-series crossarm to the tripod or tower. Orient the crossarm
North-South, with the 1 inch Nurail® or CM220 on the North end. Appendix C
contains detailed information on determining true north using a compass and the
magnetic declination for the site.
Secure the mounting pipe to the Nurail® or CM220. Place the orientation ring,
followed by the Wind Monitor 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 C.
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.

7.4 Programming
This section is for users who write their own programs. A datalogger program to
measure this sensor can be created using Campbell Scientific’s SCWin Short Cut
Program Generator software. You do not need to read this section to use Short
Cut.
7.4.1 Wind Speed
For CRBasic dataloggers, wind speed is measured using the PulseCount()
instruction. Syntax of the PulseCount() instruction is:
PulseCount( Dest, Reps, PChan, PConfig, POption, Mult, Offset )
The PConfig parameter should be set to 1 (Low Level AC) and the POption
parameter should be set to 1 (Frequency).
For Edlog dataloggers, wind speed is measured using Edlog instruction Pulse
(P3). The configuration parameter should be set to code 21 (Low Level AC,
Output Hz configuration).
The expression for wind speed (U) is:
U = Mx + B
where
M = multiplier
x = number of pulses per second (Hertz)
B = offset
Table 7-2 lists the multipliers to obtain miles/hour or metres/second when the
measurement instruction is configured to output Hz.
The helicoid propeller has a calibration that passes through zero, so the offset is
zero (Gill, 1973; Baynton, 1976).

7.4.2 Wind Direction
The wind vane is coupled to a 10 kpotentiometer, which has a 5 degree
electrical dead band between 355 and 360 degrees. A 1 Mresistor between the
signal and ground pulls the signal to 0 mV (0 degrees) when wind direction is
between 355 and 360 degrees.
The CR200(X) datalogger uses the ExDelSE() instruction to measure wind
direction. All other CRBasic dataloggers use the BRHalf() instruction. Edlog
dataloggers (CR510, CR10X, CR23X) use Edlog Instruction 4—Excite, Delay
(P4).
Some CRBasic measurement sequences cause the measurement of the wind
direction to return a negative wind direction (–30º) while in the dead band. This
can be overcome by using a delay of 40 ms (40,000µs) or by setting negative wind
direction values to 0.0: If WindDir < 0, then WindDir = 0.0.
The excitation voltage, range codes, and multipliers for the different datalogger
types are listed in Table 7-3. Appendix B has additional information on the P4
and BRHalf() measurement instructions.

7.4.3 Wind Vector Processing Instruction
The Wind Vector output instruction is used to process and store mean wind speed,
unit vector mean wind direction, and Standard Deviation of the wind direction
(optional) using the measured wind speed and direction samples.
