USER’S MANUAL
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchasing the WGR 968 Anemometer.
The anemometer measures wind speed and direction.
The Anemometer is a part of the Cable Free Weather Station
(WMR112A). If you want to see readings for the wind speed, wind
direction and wind chill temperature you need to own a WMR112A
main display unit.
The anemometer is powered by solar transmitter STR938 that is
included in the package.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
To install it,
1. Unscrew the solar transmitter STR938.
2. Plug in the connector of WGR968 into the solar transmitter as
shown.
3. Place the wind cup over the thinnest shaft on the anemometer’s
T-bar.
4. Tighten the screw on the base of the wind cup.
5. Align the red markings on the wind vane’s shaft.
6. Rotate the wind vane on the T-Bar until 180o is displayed on the
main unit LCD screen in the “Bearing” display window segment.
7. With the aid of a compass, face the red marking south before
mounting the anemometer.
8. Press[RESET]ofSTR938afterinstallationandsecurethescrews
again mount the anemometer and its solar transmitter safely in
place.
The wind speed and direction window on the main unit should read
180° if the main unit is installed.
THE SOLAR TRANSMITTER
The solar transmitter makes use of solar energy to power the
anemometer. Two pieces of UM3 or "AA" - sized batteries are
needed as back-up power.
Note: It is recommended to insert two UM3 or “AA”-sized super
lithium batteries for weather condition under 32°F.
For the solar transmitter to function properly, make sure the solar
receptors on the transmitter is exposed to sunlight and the
connectors of the connection cable are securely plugged in.
