•The device / product should be operated with the accessories and consumables supplied and/or rec-
ommended by Adolf Thies GmbH & Co KG .
•Recommendation: As it is possible that each measuring system / device / product may, under certain
conditions, and in rare cases, may also output erroneous measuring values, it is recommended using
redundant systems with plausibility checks for security-relevant applications.
Environment
•As a longstanding manufacturer of sensors Adolf Thies GmbH & Co KG is committed
to the objectives of environmental protection and is therefore willing to take back all
supplied products governed by the provisions of "ElektroG" (German Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Act) and to perform environmentally compatible disposal and
recycling. We are prepared to take back all Thies products concerned free of charge if
returned to Thies by our customers carriage-paid.

2 Application
The wind transmitter serves for the detection of the horizontal wind speed. The measurement
values are output as potential-free pulses.
The signals can be transmitted to display instruments, measuring transducers, or datalog-
gers. In areas endangered by lightning it is recommendable to install a Lightning rod, order
no. 4.3100.99.000 as well as to fit the instrument on a metallic mast with the grounding set.
3 Mode of Operation
The wind transmitter converts wind velocity into an electrical signal. The signal is generated
by a reed contact, which is activated without contact magnetically by a cup anemometer.
The cup anemometer is mounted in a ball-bearing shaft and leads a magnet past the reed
contact, resulting in a frequency proportional to the number of rotations of the cup anemome-
ter. This frequency is almost linearly dependent on wind velocity. Cup star and upper part of
the shaft consist of synthetic fibre, the lower part is made of aluminium.
4 Recommendation Site Selection /Standard Installation
In general wind measurement instruments should be able to detect the wind conditions of a
large area. In order to obtain comparable values when determining the surface wind, meas-
urements should be taken at a height of 10 meters over an even area with no obstacles. An
area with no obstacles means that the distance between the wind transmitter and an obstacle
should be a least 10 times the height of the obstacle (s. VDI 3786). If it is not possible to fulfil
this condition, then the wind transmitter should be set up at a height where local obstacles do
not influence the measured values to any significant extent (approx. 6 - 10m above the obsta-
cle). The wind transmitter should be set up in the centre of flat roofs not on the edge to avoid
bias in the direction (privileged directions).

5 Installation
Remark:
When using fastening adapters (angle, traverses, etc.) please take a possible effect by turbu-
lences into consideration.
Attention:
Storing, mounting and operation under weather conditions is permissible
only in vertical position, as otherwise water can get into the instrument.
5.1 Mechanical Mounting
The instrument can be mounted to a 50mm long tube of R 1" (diameter 35mm). The internal
diameters of the tube must be at least 20mm in order to be able to hold the connecting cable
with the plug connection.
Then, run the cable through the mast tube. Place the wind transmitter onto the tube and attach
it to the shaft with the two fixing screws.
If the instrument is being used in combination with a wind direction transmitter
(4.3124.40…,4.3127.40…), mount the small wind transmitter to the traverse, order-no.
4.3171.20.000 (see accessories),and screw this onto a mast with a diameter of 30...50mm.
5.2 Electrical Mounting
The electrical connection is carried out acc. to the connection diagram (chapter 7).
6 Maintenance
Heavy pollution can clog up the slit between the rotating and the stationary parts of the wind
transmitter. This slit must be kept clean.
After a long period of use, wear and tear may occur on the ball bearings and on the reed
contact. This will manifest itself in a higher starting torque, in the fact that the cup anemome-
ter does not start to move or in a lack of output pulses. To avoid errors in measurement, we
recommend that the instrument undergo an annual check-up and that the starting and the
stopping mechanism be tested for ease of movement by blowing on it gently. Moreover we
recommend that the instrument be overhauled once every two years by the manufacturer.
