Instructions Manual
Battery Installation: Place the coin cell battery in the Battery Compartment with the “+” side of the battery
showing. Put the battery cover over the battery and screw tight using a coin to twist into place.
Proper Tripod Height: Extend the legs of the tripod fully. Extend the telescoping centre post of the tripod all
the way. The tripod in its fully extended position will place the Wind Gauge height at the correct height 1,22 m
(as specified by Competition Rules 2018-2019 (Rule 163 points 9-10, page 96).
Installation of Wind Tunnel (tubes) on the wind Gauge: Align the arrow on the “Time Settings” sticker on the
Wind Tunnel with the white arrow on the side of the Wind Gauge. Push the Wind Tunnel down over the top of
the Wind Gauge so the tubes align with the fan and both arrows are pointing in the same direction.
Mounting Wind Gauge on Tripod: Attach the Wind Gauge to the screw on top of the tripod.
Placement of Wind Gauge for the event: Place the Wind Gauge so the Wind Tunnel tubes are parallel to the
direction of running. The direction of running should match the white arrow on the side of the unit and the
black arrow on the wind Tunnel. The Liquid Crystal display of the Wind Gauge should be placed so you can see
both the face of the Wind Gauge and the start or place where the runners are running from. When you are
looking at the face (LCD) of the Wind Gauge (ex: You should be able to see both the runners at the 100 meter
start and the face of the Wind Gauge at the same time).
