The sensor assembly includes the sensor disk with 2 meter cable (bottom), a protection disk (middle) and wind turbine (top). Attach the sensor assembly to a tripod or other surface; the sensor and protection disks have a hole for the screw to pass through into the thread at the bottom of the turbine.

A wind only sensor disk can be used to monitor the windspeed separately from the temperature and humidity sensor. There are two plugs on the display of the AWS.

ALARMS:

The key feature of the Skywatch AWS is the user programmable alarms for windspeed, temperature, and humidity. There are two levels for each measurement; low level and high level maximum windspeed; low temperature, high temperature; low humidity, high humidity.

When the measured value is above the high alarm value, an alarm sounds with a 1/2 second beep every second for 16 seconds. If the measured value is below the low alarm value, an alarm sounds with a 1/4 second beep twice a second for 16 seconds. The bright LEDs flash during the alarm and continues until the alarm is reset.

After an alarm has been activated, the display will show which alarms were triggered. This way even if you are away from the unit when an alarm goes off, you can visually see that it was activate.
