2. Product Overview

2.1 Vaisala Anemometer WAA151

1Cup wheel assembly

2Sensor shaft

3Lower body

WAA151 is a fast-response, low-threshold anemometer. Three lightweight, conical cups

mounted on the cup wheel provide a linear response rate over the entire operating range, up

to 75 m/s (168 mph).

A wind-rotated chopper disc attached to the shaft of the cup generates a pulse output from a

phototransistor in the base of the sensor. The output pulse rate is directly proportional to wind

speed.

The heating element in the shaft tunnel keeps the temperature of the bearings above the

freezing level in cold climates. The nominal heating power is 10 W. Vaisala recommends that

you use a thermostat switch in the cross arm for switching the heating power on below +4 °C

(+39 °F).

2.2 Safety

The WAA151 anemometer delivered to you has been tested for safety and approved as shipped

from the factory. Note the following precautions:

Ground the product and verify outdoor installation grounding

periodically. Failure to provide proper grounding can result in injury or death

from electrical shock and can severely damage the equipment.

WARNING!

Chapter 2 – Product Overview

Improper modiﬁcation can damage the product or lead to

malfunction. Any modiﬁcation voids your warranty.

CAUTION!

2.2.1 ESD Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately

protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by

delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects in the

equipment housing.

To avoid delivering high static voltages to the product:

• Handle ESD-sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench

or by grounding yourself to the equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive

connection cord.

• If you are unable to take either precaution, touch a conductive part of the equipment

chassis with your other hand before touching ESD-sensitive components.

• Hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching component contacts.

2.3 Regulatory Compliances

WAA151 complies with the following performance and environmental test standards:

WAA151 User Guide M210293EN-C

3. Installation

3.1 Selecting Location

Finding a suitable site for the product is important for getting representative ambient

measurements. Make sure that the site represents the general area of interest.

Allow sucient clearance for the wind sensors. Do not install wind sensors next to

a building or any other object that can aect the ﬂow of air.

Installations on top of high buildings or masts and in sites on open

grounds are vulnerable to lightning strikes. A nearby lightning strike may induce

a high-voltage surge not tolerable by the internal surge suppressors of the

instrument. Additional protection is needed in regions with frequent, severe

thunderstorms, especially when long line cables (>30 m (98 ft)) are used.

Vaisala recommends using a surge protector, such as WSP150, in all sites with an

elevated risk of a lightning strike.

CAUTION!

Chapter 3 – Installation

Figure 1 Recommended Mast Location in Open Area

Any object of height (h) does not remarkably disturb wind measurement at a minimum

distance of 10 × h. There must be at least 150 m (500 ft) open area in all directions from the

mast. Minimum distance between the mast and obstacles is ten times the height of an

obstacle.
