Initial operation And finally we recommend to lock the second nut with its
plane side ahead against the first nut (see drawing).
The wind can be represented by a vector quantity. For a com-
plete description of the wind it is necessary to specify its speed
and direction. The two components are subject to spatial and
temporal variations; thus, strictly speaking, they are valid only
for the site where the measuring instrument is put up. We
therefore recommend to select the place of installation very
carefully.
Selecting the place of installation
Generally, wind measuring instruments should not measure
the specific wind conditions of a limited area, but indicate the
typical wind conditions of a wider area. The values measured
at different places must be comparable. Thus, when installing
the sensor you should make sure the place of installation is
not under the lee of great obstacles. The distance between the
obstacles and the sensor should be 10 times the height of the
obstacles (this corresponds to the definition of an undisturbed
terrain).
If an undisturbed terrain of this kind does not exist the sensor
must be put up at a height of at least 5 m above the obstacle
height.
If the sensor must be installed on a roof top the place of instal-
lation must be in the middle of the roof to avoid predominant
wind directions. If you want to measure both wind direction
and wind speed, install the sensors at the same measuring
point, if possible, and make sure to avoid any mutual influ- 3. The sensors with assembled cable you have to pull
