Troubleshooting :
1. The wind blades do not rotate properly, and the hysteresis is big. There are foreign objects or jammed in the bearing due to long term use. Please send the sensor back to the company for processing.
2. Analog signal meter display value is not correct. Possible wiring problems or communication serial port failure caused by the inability to obtain the correct data. Please check whether the wiring is correct and firm, whether the serial port is occupied, and whether the serial port setting is correct.
3. If it is not the above reasons, please customer service.
How to Use:
Wind direction sensor installation method:
1. Ensure that the mounting bracket is parallel to the ground.
2. After connecting the sensor wire, use the corresponding specification fasteners to fix the sensor on the mounting bracket through the mounting holes on the sensor.
3. Wind sensor Cover label has a fixed south line, when installing the sensor axis and the ray of the fixed south line aligned with the south (can be positioned through the compass)
