diagrams for wiring please refer to chapter 3.
2 Installation of the CLIMA SENSOR US
Attention:
The working position of the CLIMA SENSOR US is vertical (plug
connection underneath).
During mounting, de-mounting, transport or maintenance of the
CLIMA SENSOR US please make sure that no water gets into
the instrument base or plug.
When using a lightning rod please take care that it is mounted
at below 45° to a wind measuring distance, in order to avoid
malfunctions caused by reflections.
The instrument must be mounted and wired only by qualified
personnel, who knows and observes the generalities of
techniques, and applicable regulations and norms.

4 - 14 021690/10/14/short
2.1 Mechanical installation
Proper installation of the CLIMA SENSOR US is carried
out using a tube socket R1½" (Ø 48.3 mm) and at least
30 mm in length. The inside diameter of the tube socket
must be at least 30 mm as the electrical connection of
the CLIMA SENSOR US is carried out at the bottom of
the device. After connection the CLIMA SENSOR US is
then mounted on the tube or mast socket. The marking
for north on the device must be aligned to north (see
section 4.2.1). The device is fixed to the shaft with the
two Allen screws (AF 4 mm).
Caution:
The allen screws must be
tightened to 2 Nm
2.1.1 Alignment to north
For exact determination of the wind and Brightness
direction the CLIMA SENSOR US must be installed
aligned to north (true north).
When aligning the device, the marking for north (N)
must point to north (true north). To do so, select a
conspicuous feature of the landscape to the north or
south with a compass and turn the mast or sensor until
the marking for north points to true north.
When aligning the device to north using a compass, bear
in mind the magnetic variation (= deviation in the
direction of the compass needle from true north) and
possible interference from magnetic fields (e.g. iron
parts, electric cables).
The lower edge of the sensor base is equipped with a
bore for north aligned to the marking for north. This
bore allows a mast adapter with a pin for north to be
used here. The mast adapter is not included in the scope
of supply.

2.2 Electrical installation / Start-up
1. The connection of the ClimaSensor US to the interface module and power supply unit
differs, depending on the instrument variant. You have to distinguish between the
connection types full-duplex and half-duplex with cable 16pole or resp. 8pole. Information
on the duplex-mode are given by parameter DM on the supplemental sheet “Factory
settings” of the ClimaSensor US.
The following table serves for the circuit diagram selection. The following assignments

acc. to the connection diagram, see Table 1.
3. Put the plug of the 8pole or resp. 16pole cable into the ClimaSensorUS.
4. Connect the USB/RS485 interface converter to the power supply unit 9.3389.20.000.
5. Connect the 230V / 115V line to the power supply unit
9.3389.20.000.
6. Insert the included CD into the CD-ROM drive of your
PC.
7. Start the program “ThiesDeviceUtilityStartup.exe” from
the included CD.
8. For installation of the interface transducer select the
button “install driver for USB RS485 converter”.
9. Connect the USB/RS485 interface converter and your
PC by means of the included USB-cable.
10. For starting the program “ThiesDeviceUtility.exe” select the button “Start Thies
DeviceUtility” in the program
“ThiesDeviceUtilityStartup”.
11. After the program start select the button “Search”.
12. The program searches for connected instruments,
and displays the search result and detail
parameter.

6 - 14 021690/10/14/short
13. By pressing the button “Terminal” a window is opened, where individual commands can be
sent, and parameters can be changed. See also the online help of the program “Thies
Device Utility.exe”. The program supports both the “Thies”- and the MODBUS-command
interpreter. Depending on the identified device the command interpreter is selected
automatically.
14. By operating the switch “PDF” the instructions for use of the instrument are opened in the
current line.
15. For information on mounting, installation, and other technical details please refer to the
instructions for use.

6 Installation of the USB/RS485 Interface Converter 9.1702.40.000
For the installation of the USB/RS485 interface converter please proceed as follows:
1. Insert the included CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Put the USB-plug of the RS485 converter into the provided socket of the PC.
3. The PC identifies a new instrument, and displays it as follows:
4. Select in the dialogue “No, not this time”.
5. Acknowledge the next dialogue with OK.
6. Windows will install the driver for the USB/RS485 converter.
7. After successful completion the instrument is ready for use.
8. In the Windows system control a new COM-port is registered. The program
“ThiesDeviceUtility.EXE” is using this port automatically.
9. Settings for RS485 half-duplex operation.
In half-duplex operation the connections 1,2, and 5 are used. The sliding switches have to
be set as follows:
1: OFF 3: ON
2: OFF 4: ON
10. Settings for RS485 full-duplex operation.
In full-duplex operation the connections 1,2,3,4, and 5 are used. The sliding switches must
be set as follows:
1: ON 3: OFF
2: ON 4: OFF
