INSTRUCTIONS
Use the following input channels on the logger to connect this sensor. See highligted input channels marked here below. The
wire colors used in the connection diagram below only applies in case the cable is supplied by Kintech Engineering.
Depending on the number of pins to be used, the number of necessary wires can range from three (frequency output) to eight.
See section 3.2 of the manual for detailed pinout and section 8 of the manual for how to configure.

HOW TO CONFIGURE THIS SENSOR IN EOL MANAGER
Keep in mind that the configuration of a Geovane in EOL Manager has to be done according to its outputs configuration. Open EOL
Manager and go to the data logger you are working on. Open the “inputs” tab and select the following type and model:
Section: Anemometers/Frequency
Type: Geovane
Model: True North Offset
Last modified: 12.03.2018
IMPORTANT
After configuring the sensor in EOL Manager make sure
to upload the configuration file to your EOL Zenith data
logger. See the “Quick User Guide” how to upload confi-
guration files to the data logger.
All sensor wire shields must be connected to the data
logger GND terminal.
The data logger should always be connected to a se-
parated ground rod. Not to the lightning rod of the
tower.
For a precise measurement of the True North Offset,
the wind wane coupled to the Geovane must have, at all
times, its internal angular reference perfectly aligned
with the Geovane’s angular reference. See section 4 of
the manual.
It is recommended to always keep the RS-485 cores
(pins 2 and 4) accessible from the ground so the Geova-
ne can be re-configured and updated without having to
dismount it.
