APEXS: Maintaining the Anemometer Wind Cups in Vantage Pro2 weather station


The common solutions you may used in maintaining your anemometer wind cups is to do the following:

  • If wind speed seems low, use an Allen wrench to loosen the setscrew on the side of the wind cups. 
  • Remove the wind cups, and clean the exposed portion of the shaft with a damp cloth or cotton swab. 
  • Clean the wind cups with water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly before replacing.
  • After replacing the wind cups and tightening the setscrew, check to make sure that the wind cups spin freely. 
  • If they do not, the bearings may be worn and need factory repair.

Caution, take an extra precaution when doing the maintenance.

  • Do not use or add grease, oil, or a spray lubricant of any kind in your anemometer.
