Instructions​

Preparation​

Inspect all printed parts and remove any imperfections that could prevent them from spinning freely.

Steps​

1. Magnet Insertion​

The magnets are designed for a tight press-fit and typically do not require glue. If adhesive is needed due to a loose fit, apply a small amount and allow it to fully cure before proceeding next step to prevent leakage.

Insert the 4×6 mm magnet into its designated slot on part #2-Vane.

Insert the 3×5 mm magnet into its designated slot on part #6-cups-axle.

2. Rotor Bearing Installation​

Bearings are intended to fit securely without the use of glue. However, if the fit is too loose, you may apply a small amount of adhesive. Be careful to avoid any contact with the rolling elements to ensure proper bearing function and wait glue has cured before proceeding next step.

Insert a bearing into part #6-cups-axle.

3. Rotor Installation​

Insert part #6-cups-axle onto the shaft of part #7-pcb-housing and push it down. If the fit is too loose, you may apply a small amount of adhesive at the base of the shaft.

4. Vane Support Assembly​

Slide part #4-vane-support-low onto the shaft. Apply glue, then insert part #3-vane-support-up and press firmly until the glue has cured.

5. Vane Bearing Installation​

Install vane bearing on part #2-vane-axle. If the fit is loose, apply a small amount of glue to the inner ring of the bearing. Allow the glue to fully cure before proceeding to the next step.

6. Vane Axle Installation​

Insert part #2-vane-axle into the assembly. If the fit is loose, apply a small amount of glue to the outer ring.

7. Electronic board Installation​

Insert the electronic board and fasten it with the smallest screw.

8. Enclosure Assembly​

  • Insert the anemometer body into the mast mount and tighten the screw. Place a 36 mm seal at the junction to prevent water ingress.

9. Vane and rotor installation​

  • Place the cup rotor and secure it with a 36 mm silicone seal.
  • Place the wind vane and secure it with a 32mm silicone seal
