Instruction Manual
Wind Speed w/”Tru-Gust”
—Medallion Series—
Model #3005

Wind Speed with “Tru-Gust”
-Medallion Series (#3005)-
The wind speed generator should be mounted on the peak of the roof
where it will receive the greatest exposure to the wind. Keep away from
any obstructions if possible. Be sure to install the mast securely and
vertically to prevent uneven wear.
TO INSTALL:
1 –Holding the cup assembly carefully by the base, mount it on top of the
14” aluminum mast, securing it with the included cotter pin.
Rough handling of the cup assembly can cause damage.
2 –Attach the wires to the three terminals on the underside of the cups,
matching color to color.
3 –Attach the L-shaped bracket to the roof or rake boards with the
included lag bolts. The unit can also be attached to a chimney using a
masonry drill and screw anchors.
4 –Using the included U-bolts, attached the mast to the bracket.
5 –Run the three-wire cable into the house to the location where the
meter will be mounted.
6 –At the back of the meter, attach the three wires to the TOP three
terminals, matching color to color (see diagram).
7 –OPTIONAL: Attach a 9V battery backup to the two middle terminals.
(The battery backup is not necessary, but will power the Tru-Gust for up
to 48 hours in the case of a power outage.)
8 –Attach the two wires from the power supply to the BOTTOM two
terminals on the rear of the instrument (either wire to either terminal).
TO OPERATE:
To see the highest wind speed since the Tru-Gust was last reset, push and
release the button on the bottom of the dial and watch the needle move
up to the highest reading. The needle will return to normal operation
after a few seconds.
To RESET the gust memory, push the button in for 5 seconds and the
memory will clear. During a power outage, the wind speed will
automatically switch to the battery backup if a battery is attached.
Altering this instrument in any way will void the warranty. Please
call with any questions regarding installation or operation.
