2.8 Crane Wireless Wind Speed Installation
1. Prepare for the crane wireless wind speed installation by remove the mounting rod from the wind speed sensor.
2. Determine the mounting rod position for the crane wireless wind speed installation
a. Install the mounting rod on the same side of the boom as the cabin mounted display, perpendicular to the boom, and at the highest point possible.
b. The wind speed sensor must pivot freely on the mounting rod at all boom angles.
c. The wind cups must be fully exposed to the wind and spin freely at all boom angles.
d. There should be a clear and unobstructed line of sight between the wind speed sensor antenna and the cabin mounted display unit.
e. Remember for the crane wireless wind speed installation the transmitter antenna should not contact any metal object.
3. Weld or screw the mounting rod to the boom at the selected position.
4. Re-position the wind speed sensor on the mounting rod, add the washer and secure with the cotter pin.
