 • DataAveragingIndicator(Ifselected)
6. Observetheunitforafewminutestoverifythatitisoperating
properly. If you wish to change settings (ie: wind speed units),
this is done easily using the keys on the front panel.
CHANGING SETTINGS
The Wind Tracker has a SETUP mode that allows you to easily change
sensor type, wind speed units, averaging time, alarm settings, and
other functions.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ALARMS
Wind speed and wind direction alarm functions are accessed in the
SETUPsequence.Eitherorbothalarmsmaybeused.Whenactivated,
alarms are indicated on the front panel. When an alarm condition
exists,theindicatorblinks,theassociatedrelaycontactclosesand
beepersounds(ifselected). When a delay time is set, the indicator
willnotreportanalarmconditionuntilithasexistedforonecomplete
delay period. Alarm activity ceases when conditions are outside the
alarmrangeforonecompletedelayperiod.Fora"latching"alarm
effect, use the Wind Tracker alarm contacts to activate an appropriate
externallatching-typerelay.
AVERAGING
The Wind Tracker can display instantaneous or averaged wind data.
AveragingisselectedintheSETUPsequenceattheprompt"dSP".
Theaverage is ablockaverageforthe time periodselected.The
display updates only after each time period has elapsed and will
holdthisinformationuntilthenextupdate.

BRIGHTNESS
AdjustdisplaybrightnessbyholdingtheBRIGHTkey.
MAXIMUM/WIND DIRECTION DIGITAL DISPLAY
The right display window can show either MAXIMUM WIND SPEED
or Numerical WIND DIRECTION. This selection is made in the setup
mode under Display (dSP).
REMOTE DISPLAYS
The Wind Tracker can be used as a remote display by selecting
"InP SEr" during SETUP. Remote displays are connected to the
maindisplayusingtheRS-485terminals.Connectliketerminalsas
showninwiringdiagrams.Remotedisplaysshowexactlythesame
information as the main unit. MAX RESET and SETUP features are
controlledatthemainunitonly.Brightnesscanbeadjustedateach
displayindependently.Upto16remotedisplayscanbeconnected
to one main display.
VOLTAGE OUTPUTS
The Wind Tracker offers calibrated voltage outputs for both wind
speed and wind direction. This feature allows the use of recorders
andotherdevices.Fullscalevoltageforeachchannelis5.00VDC.
4-20 mA INPUTS
The Wind Tracker accepts 4-20 mA (Line Driver) inputs. The Line
Drivercircuitmustprovide0-50M/SWindSpeedscaling("M"sufx).
Connectcableasindicatedonpage4.SwitchonbackmustbeUPat
powerupforcorrect4-20mAoperation.SetINPUTto"LDI"inSETUP.
Note: 24 VDC power is required for line driver applications.
ERROR MESSAGES
The Wind Tracker detects and indicates two errors. Once corrected,
the error indication disappears.
DISPLAY
