DISPLAYMOUNTINGINSTRUCTIONS:
TOOLS REQUIRED:
1 x Power Hand Drill
1 x 7mm Drill Bit
1 x 5mm Hex Head Allen Key
1 x 10mm Spanner
PROCEDURE:
1. The display unit must be mounted in an easily viewable and accessible place. The display
can be mounted in virtually any suitable place by using the universal ball joint type bracket
which is attached to the back plate of the housing. To allow free movement of the display
on the bracket, turn the wing knob on the mounting bracket anti-clockwise enough to
loosen the bracket. Decide which position is best by turning the brackets to the desired
position and then “locking” the universal bracket by turning the wing knob clockwise until
the ball type bracket does not have any free movement.
2. Remove the two M6 x 30mm socket head cap screws and nuts supplied with the ball
mounting bracket round disc with 4 large (7mm) and 4 small (5mm) holes. Place the disc
where it is to be mounted and mark two mounting holes using 2 of the large holes. Drill
two 7mm holes and fasten the mounting ball bracket using two M6 screws and nuts.
Fasten the screws through the bracket using a 10mm spanner and 5mm Hex Head Allen
key.
3. Locate a suitable power source to power the display unit (2A for the display only). Route
the two-core cable to the power source and connect the numbered wires as indicated:
 Wire # 1 - + Supply (10-36VDC)
 Wire #2 - - Supply (Earth/Ground)
DISPLAYBOARDPOWERSUPPLYWIRING

SAFE-AID TS350 WIRED WIND SPEED METER MANUAL - VERSION 1 Page 5
CONNECTINGRELAYOUTPUTS
The TS350 display unit has provision for wiring up external lights and/or siren using the two
relays mounted on the display board.
 Relay 1 - equal to or exceeding the intermediate limit
 Relay 2 - equal to or exceeding the upper limit
To set up the relevant limits see Windspeed & Unit Setup.
The contact block is situated inside the display unit on the board and the contacts utilsed are
as follows:
RELAY 1 (Intermediate limit)
 NC1 – Normally Closed Contact
 COM – Common
 NO1 – Normally Open Contact
RELAY 2 (Upper limit)
 NC2 – Normally Closed Contact
 COM – Common
 NO2 – Normally Open Contact
TOOLS REQUIRED:
1 x 2.5mm Hex Head Allen key
1 x 2mm Flat Head Screwdriver
PROCEDURE:
Connection can be done to both outputs (intermediate and upper) or individually as required.
1. Open the display box as per the Display Board Power connector wiring.
2. Replace M12 blank-off(s) in back plate with M12 gland(s) as required for output wiring.
3. Establish the relay output required by the device – Maximum 10A @ 250VAC or 10A
@ 28VDC.
4. Connect the required output to the common on the contact block – Preferably use a
separate supply but if low power (less than 2 Amps) or ground feed is required connect
a wire directly from the supply or ground into the Common on the relevant relay.
5. Common signal will now be directed through the relevant relay as follows:
 Normally Open (NO) - Error will close contact
 Normally Closed (NC) - Error will open contact

SAFE-AID TS350 WIRED WIND SPEED METER MANUAL - VERSION 1 Page 6
MOUNTINGTHEANEMO4403ANEMOMETER
TOOLS REQUIRED:
1 x Welding Machine – Qualified welder to do welding
1 x Hacksaw
2 x 17mm Spanners
PROCEDURE:
1. The anemometer head unit will need to be mounted at the furthest point possible
ensuring that the “wind vanes” are ABOVE the highest obstructive point i.e. on mobile
cranes the unit should be mounted on the tip section above the level of the top of the
boom so that even when the boom is at its highest point, the wind speed meter head
is still above the boom head.
2. Find a suitable place to mount the anemometer. The mounting pole must be cut to the
correct length, we recommend as short as possible to eliminate the possibility of the
unit getting damaged or knocked off. The unit should be positioned correctly and have
complete freedom of movement when swinging. The anemometer has a green nylon
bush & washer where the pole slides through, this is fastened by using two M10 Nylock
nuts & washers on either side of the spacer using the two 17mm spanners. Ensure the
following:
a. DO NOT tighten the nuts together too tightly as the anemometer will not be able
to swing freely & self-level with the movement of the boom
b. Ensure that the threaded bar is flush (inline) with the inner nut so that the
threaded bar does not touch or interfere with the cable i.e. if the threaded bar
protrudes from the nut it will damage the cable.
3. Once a suitable mounting place has been identified, weld the mounting foot to the
crane’s boom. The anemometer is isolated and the bracket may be welded while the
wind speed meter is attached to the pole. If the anemometer has been removed from
the pole refit the anemometer as in point #2 above. 
SYSTEMUSE
The Safe-Aid TS350 unit is designed with ease of operation in mind.
Figure 1

SAFE-AID TS350 WIRED WIND SPEED METER MANUAL - VERSION 1 Page 7
The working screen (Figure 1) displays the following parameters:
 current wind speed
 wind speed limit (user adjustable maximum wind speed)
 the percentage utilisation – digital and bar graph
 buzzer activated or buzzer override activated
 graphical representation of anemometer
 USB flash drive inserted
The touch screen is sensitive to touch therefore it is not necessary to push hard on the screen
(if touch screen does not work or selects incorrectly see touch screen calibration).
SYSTEMSTARTUP
When powering up the TS350, the system runs through a complete set of internal system
diagnostics to make sure all inputs and outputs are working correctly (Figure 2). The TS350
system goes into the working screen once all the relevant checks have been completed. No
user entry is necessary when starting up.
Figure 2
ERRORMESSAGES&UTILISATION
The wind speed unit measures wind speed between the following parameters.
UNIT OF MEASURE MINIMUM WIND
SPEED
MAXIMUM WIND SPEED
KNOTS 1.0 97.1
MILES PER HOUR 1.1 111.8
KILOMETERS PER HOUR 1.8 180
METERS PER SECOND 0.5 50
The TS350 display unit will only start displaying the wind speed once the Minimum wind
speed has been reached.
If the TS350 display exceeds the user adjustable Maximum speed for the anemometer unit,
the unit will display 100% Windspeed (in red) underneath the “Limit” field and the buzzer will
sound continuously.

SAFE-AID TS350 WIRED WIND SPEED METER MANUAL - VERSION 1 Page 8
Figure 3
Utilisation: Utilisation is the actual wind speed utilised against the wind speed limits. This is
displayed graphically by the bar, proceeding from green (less than Intermediate Limit), then
amber (greater than or equal to Intermediate Limit but less than Upper Limit) and finally
red (greater than or equal to Upper Limit) increasing incrementally as a percentage.
If the wind speed is equal to or greater than the Windspeed Intermediate Limit (Figure 3) the
following will happen:
 The percentage utilisation bar graph will turn yellow
 Intermediate Windspeed will be displayed below the Limit block
 The display buzzer will sound intermittently
 Top robot type indication light on the top of the screen will change to yellow
 The buzzer symbol will be displayed after five seconds
If the wind speed is equal to or greater than the Windspeed Upper Limit (Figure 4) the
following will happen:
 The percentage utilisation bar graph will turn red
 100% Windspeed will be displayed below the Limit block
 The display buzzer will sound permanently until an intermediate condition or lower is
reached
 Top robot type indication light on the top of the screen will change to red
 The buzzer symbol will be displayed after five seconds
