2.0 INTRODUCTION
The Young Model 81000 measures three dimensional wind velocity
and speed of sound based on the transit time of ultrasonic acoustic
signals. Sonic temperature is derived from speed of sound which is
corrected for crosswind effects.
Measurement data are available as serial output using RS-232 or
RS-485 connections. A variety of serial output formats are avail-
able including a custom format which is easily set by the user.
Four voltage output channels representing sonic temperature and
wind in either Cartesian or Polar coordinates are also provided.
Operating parameters may be edited via simpli ed menus using
an ordinary serial communication program like HyperTerm. All
parameters are stored in non-volatile memory.
Superior environmental resistance is achieved by using UV stabi-
lized thermoplastic, stainless steel, and anodized aluminum com-
ponents. Electrical connections are made via an easily accessible
junction box. The unit mounts on standard 1 inch pipe, outside
diameter 34mm (1.34").
3.0 INITIAL CHECKOUT
Carefully unpack the unit and inspect for physical damage. Any
damage should be reported to the shipper. The sensor arrives fully
calibrated and ready to use.
FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:
Serial Output:
- RS232 at 38400 Baud
- ASCII Text Serial String
Wind Speed - 3D (m/s)
Direction (Deg)
Elevation (Deg)
Speed of Sound (m/s)
Sonic Temperature (°C)
Analog Voltage Outputs:
- Channel V1: Wind Speed (3D)
0-5000 mV = 0-50 m/s
- Channel V2: Wind Direction
0-5000mV = 0-540 Deg
- - Channel V3: Elevation
0-5000mV = -60° to +60°
- Channel V4: Sonic Temperature
0-5000mV = 220K to 320K
A simple four-step operational check may be performed as follows:
1. Remove junction box cover. Connect power and signal wires
to terminals as indicated in wiring diagram (APPENDIX A) for
RS-232 OUTPUT. Connect serial cable to computer COM
port.
2. Start a serial communications program (like HyperTerm) with
baud rate at 38400 and ow control set to NONE.
