WindVane Problem

[Omer Akatekin]

Hi,

I have an issue about wind vane's direction degree on NRG Symphonie data logger screen. I want to ask some question;

1) I have 2 channel for wind vane 7 & 8 for wind vane 7 is always show 179 or 359 1st is for average ?

 

2) we use wind vane for showing people what is wane and anemometer in the office . So it is not professional system and we do not record our data .

However at the 8 channel when i directed wind vane to 0 degree ( i did all offset and scale ) it shows 45degree and then when i directed to other direction it shows 45 or 0 it walks always same degrees . Why is it occur ? I think i missed some steps ?

 

Best regards,

 Hi Omer,

You can test the vanes using the instructions in our knowledge base here:

 Be sure your wiring is correct:

Vane           Symphonie

(+) RED          (+) [or EXC on SymphoniePLUS3]

Sig WHITE      (Sig) 

(-) BLACK       (-) [or GND on SymphoniePLUS3]

thanks for your respond ;

 

i ve one more question :

 

there is no wind so anemometer is stopped, if i change the direction of vane by myself it will affect to logger screen or do i need wind on anemometer?

 The readings on each channel are independently recorded and independently displayed on the logger's LCD.

Wind need not be present to view the vane's position.

 I hope that helps.
