Installing Anemometer on Masthead - what should I expect? You will also need to mount some sort of base for the anemometer (you can see it in my photo) That may require drilling and tapping the bolt holes… If you can unstep the mast, that may be easier than trying to do these tasks suspended 37’ in the air, where you will have a hard time getting above the mast (unless the “lift” you are
Why anemometers - Sailboat Owners Forums Assuming an anemometer interconnected with knot meter, it compensates for speed and direction to give real data useful in making course management decisions useful in both racing and cruising Having cruised the same areas you mentioned, my recollection is that most boats had one; some two
lubricating anemometer bearings | Sailboat Owners Forums Not knowing what the lubricant is also presents a problem Many things like this are dry with very smooth surfaces Graphite or silicone spray would be my choice, but this may make things worse I worked on WX equipment while in the USAF The anemometer bearings were sealed roller and lightly lubricated or dry
i60 Wind Instrument Troubleshooting | Sailboat Owners Forums The yellow wire is 5volt pulses generated by the anemometer Now, the MHU is fed 8vdc on the red shield There is a down-converter up in the MHU which converts 8v to 5v, and then uses that for the Hall Effect sensor on the vane At the base of the mast with the wind blowing, you should see 0-5 volt pulses between yellow shield
Looking for a cost effective CFM meter for Dust Collector and Air . . . The title pretty much says it all I would like to get a meter that measures CFM (cubic feet per minute) or air movement speed that I can then calculate CFM I want to measure the Dust Collector at different places along the pipe runs and also the output of my Grizzly hanging air filters on

Replacement Wind Speed Sensor for - Sailboat Owners Forums First step, remove the anemometer or feather with a 1 5mm hex wrench They both use the same size hex wrench It is a good idea to remove both the anemometer and feather so as to avoid breaking them while working on the masthead transducer Remove Anemometer The wind sensor modules are held in the aluminum housing by two “O” rings
