My anemometer is missing one cup. I picked up a replacement anemometer at FOT last week and I started to install the new one today. I used a voltmeter to check the polarity of the wiring since the wires on the new one are different colors. I discovered the voltage to be 22VDC. What gives? The manual says there is to be 12VDC supplied to the anemometer. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to damage the new anemometer, so I didn't just switch them. I have found nothing online so far.
Steve,
If I had measured 22 volts dc, I would first check the voltmeter settings and make sure ground connections are good. If settings and ground connections ok, I would call Girard and ask tech support for help. I have found them very helpful in the past. Good Luck!

I am hoping the voltage is high because the voltage floats without the anemometer connected. Waiting for them to wake up this am.
Found out I didn't need to worry about voltage. Foretravel sold me the wrong anemometer. They asked me if mine had cops or vanes and I told them cups. Apparently my cup one had been superseded to a vane one years ago. The new one with cups is for the newest systems with G-link. Wrong one on way back to FOT and correct one on way. Glad I checked before I connected anything.
