Wind transducer location requirements

When selecting a location for your wind transducer it is important to consider a number of factors.

Location requirementsThe transducer's location must ensure that:

  • It is installed facing forwards.

  • It is installed on a horizontal surface. If a surface (e.g. a mast top) is otherwise suitable but not horizontal, make up a suitable wedge piece to provide the necessary horizontal surface.

  • It is installed as high as possible and away from any equipment which may shield the transducer or otherwise disturb the air flow to the transducer.

  • There is a viable route for the transducer’s cable to be routed to the display / converter that it will be connected to.

  • The vane and cups can spin freely.

  • There is sufficient access for installation and servicing.
