Anonymous Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Is there any documentation available for wiring a Thies First Class to a SymphoniePLUS logger? Thies First Class has four wire (black - shield, green, brown and white). On the SymphoniePLUS logger has only "+" and "-" connection place.

David Carlson Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi, SIG - Signal (rectangle) to Symphonie CTR +GND - Ground to Symphonie CTR -+Us - Supply 3.3V - 42V DC (excitation) - to Symphonie 12 V+ (iPack required) These are the only connections that need to be made with the Symphonie.

Dario Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi David,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Regarding your last post concerning Thies sensor wiring, is the same rule applied both for Thies vanes and anemometers? Our Thies vane (P6245H) has five wires (green-yellow, green, yellow, brown, and white). Also, I couldn?t find any default scale or offset in their brochure. Is there your default scale or offset for Thies vane? And our Thies anemometer (P6100H) has four wires (green-yellow - SHILD, green - PULSE, brown - GND, white ? SUPPLY). Thank you for your fast reply. Kind regards, Dario Dukic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Carlson Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I can't speak to the color of the wires, but the connection of the sensor's outputs should be just like wiring a 200P wind vane. ExcitationSignalGround As long as you have the potentiometer-based output the Thies vane will work with a 3152 Vane SCM in any of the SymphoniePLUS's analog slots.

Matthew Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Does this only apply to the Thies FC with frequency output? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Carlson Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 The information above is for the Thies vane that is potentiometer based. The Symphonie is not set up to record and vector-average the output of frequency-based wind direction sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Oops. The question was meant in regards to the connection of the Thies wind speed sensor. :-) To be clear. For the Thies FC wind speed sensor, is it necessary to use some type of SCM card for connecting it? From the datasheets I read that the Thies has an output frequency of 1082 Hz at 50 m/s, while the Nr.40 has a maximum frequency of 125 Hz (about 65 Hz at 50 m/s). The RM Young Wind Monitor is specified to have 90 Hz at 8.8 m/s, (about 510 Hz at 50 m/s) and I see that there is a special SCM card for using it with the Symphonie dataloggers. In the Symphonie specs it says up to 2500 Hz is ok, so based on that, the Thies FC wind speed sensor should be fine, but then I don't understand why the RM Young Wind Monitor should need an SCM card.

David Carlson Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Good questions: The Symphonie's #40C pre-configured inputs and SCMs are designed to accept Sine-wave signals. They have low pass filters that reject any frequency above 125Hz. The special SCM card for RM Young Wind Monitor sensors hasa low pass filter of a higher frequency than the #40C SCM. The Thies anemometer requires the use of the 3151 Digital Anemometer SCM. This SCM will accept square-wave signals at an even higher frequency which will accommodate te Thies.

Matthew Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Now it is clear. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosPinto Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 ATTENTION: As there are many versions of Thies First Class Wind Vane, only with versions 4.3150.X0.210 (10k?) is the connection direct to Symphonie data loggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi David, It seems that in the attached document two of the lines in the "Logger Connections" table are reversed. Shouldn't it be 1-Pulses with Ctr+ and 3-Supply with Sensor+12V, as it is in the figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Carlson Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Matthew, thank you for calling that to my attention! The file is now reflecting the correct wiring configuration in the table. EDIT: 09/14/2015: updated APNOTE to include newer wiring configuration. Scaling_Thies_First_Class_AppNote.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lael Hitz Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hello, We are attempting to connect a Thies First Class anemometer to a Symphonie Plus logger. We have wired it in the manner shown on the pdf you give in is thread... the corrected one, but no reading. However, the digital SCM cards we are using are old ones... they say 3063 on them, not 3151... Is this a problem? Thank you! Lael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Carlson Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Do you have an iPack attached? The Thies First Class anemometer requires excitation that is only present when the iPack is connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lael Hitz Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hello, we did get the Thies to work. We did have an iPack attached, but had problems with a faulty wiring panel and a cracked scm card. However, the current Thies wire colors do not match the NRG diagram. The combination that worked was White wire to positive, Green to negative, Brown to 12v supply, and Yellow wire unconnected. Lael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Carlson Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Attached is the latest version of the apnote, which includes the wiring scheme Lael outlines above. Please disregard the older apnote for any new installations. Scaling_Thies_First_Class_AppNote.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrochim Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Matthew, thank you for calling that to my attention! The file is now reflecting the correct wiring configuration in the table. EDIT: 09/14/2015: updated APNOTE to include newer wiring configuration. Hi David, in that document attached, there are 4 wire can be connected to SymponiePLUS3 but actually, there are 5 wire from Thies FC Anemometer (white, green, brown, yellow and shield) then, there are 4 slots only on the terminal that reserved for anemometer. So, my question is , where should I connect the yellow cable to SymponiePLUS3? Thank you Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
