4.1 Selecting the units
The unit of wind speed can be switched as desired by touching the optical sensor key OSK 3 (see figure3)
with your fingers. The unit switches once a second as long as the sensor key remains activated.
After switching on the indicator (hard reset) or the LED test (soft reset), you will get the unit selected at last.
4.2 Controlling the brightness
All LED's , except those in the text field „PWR“ of the power status display and the scale illumination, can be
dimmed manually or automatically. The selection is done by the switch S4 of the DIP-switch at the back
panel (see 3. Setting the Wind Indicator LED on page 7).
If the dimmer of the indicator is set to manual, the brightness of the displays can be modified in fine grada-
tions with the "bright" (OSK 1) and "dark" (OSK 2) sensor keys (see figure 3). To do so, activate the indicator
with one of the two keys to switch it to the dimming mode. In the dimming mode, the left half of the wind
direction face (180°...355°), proceeding from 180°, displays in yellow the brightness which has been set on
the display. The brightness of the wind speed display, of the wind direction face and of the unit symbols can
be altered.
Please note:
As long as the dimming mode is switched on, no measurements or calculations will be carried out!
If the dimmer of the indicator is set to automatic, (see chapter 3. Setting the Wind Indicator LED on page 7
(switch S4)), then the "bright" and "dark" sensor keys serve as brightness sensors.
The brightness of the displays adapts automatically to the brightness of the surroundings.
4.3 Testing the LED's (Soft reset)
The LED test is a test function which can be activated at any time. It triggers a complete initialisation of the
indicator. This soft reset does the same as the hard reset by switching on the power supply.
You can switch the LED test on by activating the sensor keys of the dimmer function "bright" (OSK 1) and
"dark" (OSK 2) simultaneously for several seconds.
This switches on all the illuminated elements on the display.
Test run:
- Lamptest (first lights up red and, a few seconds later, switches to green, all segments)
- Display 2 seconds software-version in wind speed disdlay (e.g.”3.19”)
- If a “compact” wind sensor is recognized: display “CoP” for 2 seconds
- Display the recognized serial Baudrate (e.g. “1.2-“ means 1200Bd)
- Display the special software version (e.g. “P.01”)
- Then a complete self-test is carried out and recognised errors are displayed by means of an
error code (see chapter 5. Troubleshooting on page 12).
