Anemometer Sensor Maintenance
Your anemometer should provide years of service. In some areas, however, spiders and insects can affect its operation. If wind speed seems low, use an allen wrench to loosen the setscrew on the side of the wind cups. Remove the wind cups, and clean the exposed portion of the shaft with a damp cloth or cotton swab. Clean the wind cups with water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly before replacing.
Do not use or add grease, oil, or a spray lubricant of any kind.
After replacing the wind cups and tightening the setscrew, check to make sure that the wind cups spin freely. If they do not, the bearings may be worn and need factory-replacement. Please email Skyview for returns information.
To ensure accurate wind direction readings, check the orientation of the wind vane annually. Consult your Owner's Manual for details.
