86000, 86106, and 86004 Ultrasonic
Anemometers
1. Introduction
The 86000-series ultrasonic anemometers are 2-axis, no moving-parts wind
sensor. They are ideal for general meteorological applications that require
accurate and reliable measurement. The sensors feature wide operating range,
compact size, easy installation, and low power consumption.
The 86000-series measure wind speed and direction based on the transit time of
ultrasonic pulses between three transducers.
Operating parameters are easily set up using the 86SETUP program provided.
All 86000-series parameter settings are stored internally in non-volatile
memory.
2. Initial Inspection
x The 86000-series ultrasonic anemometers ships with an orientation ring
and bird wire (86004 option).

4. Installation
4.1 Siting
Proper instrument placement is important. Eddies from buildings, trees, or
other structures can influence measurements. For most applications, locate the
sensor well above or upwind of obstructions. As a general rule, air flow around
a structure is distributed to 2 times the height of the structure upwind, 6 times
the height downwind, and up to 2 times the height of the structure above
ground.
4.2 Mounting
Mount the sensor to standard 1-inch (IPS) pipe that has an outside diameter of
1.34 inches (34 mm).
3. Using the transducers as a sighting aid, align the sensor with a feature on the
horizon that represents the proper orientation. After alignment, tighten the
mounting post band clamp to secure the position.
4. Slide the orientation ring up so its guide pin is fully engaged in the sensor
mounting post notch. Tighten the orientation ring band clamp to secure its
position.
If the sensor needs to be removed later, leave the orientation ring on the pipe to
preserve sensor alignment.

86000, 86106, and 86004 Ultrasonic Anemometers
The YOUNG sensor and communication program must operate at the same
baud rate and be properly connected. Sensor RS-232 mode must be enabled.
See the RS-232 wiring diagram (Figure A-3, Appendix A).
Factory default sensor baud rate is 9600, but may be set to 1200, 4800, or
38400. Configure the serial communications program for NO handshaking and
1 start, 8 data, 1 stop bit.
If the prompt does not appear after sending three ESC characters, re-check
wiring and communication program setup. If the sensor baud rate is unknown,
try sending the ESC characters at each of the four available baud rates (1200,
4800, 9600, and 38400). It is also possible that sensor parameters have been
purposely configured to disable RS-232 mode. If this is the case, the following
method must be used.
12
86000, 86106, and 86004 Ultrasonic Anemometers
Note Some of the values in the report are for factory settings and cannot
be changed by the user.
Commands are case sensitive and the exact format must be used. For example,
the SET01nn command requires two digits for the serial format code. If you
send SET014 instead of SET0104, the sensor will reject the command and
indicate an error. End all commands with a carriage return (ASCII 13). In
HyperTerminal, do this by pressing the ENTER key.
After receiving the carriage return, the sensor will evaluate the command.
Valid commands will be executed. Current settings can be evaluated at any
time by sending RPTV to get a new report.

Wind below the threshold is reported as zero, while the wind direction angle is
held at the last value when wind speed was above threshold. Set threshold in
centimeters per second (m/s x 100). The default setting is 25 cm/s (0.25 m/s,
0.56 mph).
where:
Sdamped = New or last damped wind speed
Ssample = New wind speed speed
d = Damping factor
The default value is 00. This means no damping is applied. High damping
values at long output intervals can slow the rate at which indicated wind values
change.

86000, 86106, and 86004 Ultrasonic Anemometers
More internal samples consume more power while providing greater immunity
to conditions like turbulent high-speed wind. Fewer samples consume less
power while providing less immunity to disruptive conditions.
This command interacts with the OUTPUT INTERVAL setting. More samples
may require a longer output interval.

86000, 86106, and 86004 Ultrasonic Anemometers
5. Operation
5.1 Analog Outputs
As supplied, the sensor is configured for VOLTAGE OUTPUT, Wind Speed,
and Wind Direction. The sensor may also be set up for 4-20 mA CURRENT
output by changing internal settings. See Section 6.5 for details.
Analog outputs may be configured for either Polar (speed and direction) or
Cartesian (UV) output format.
For voltage output with cable lengths greater than 3 m (10 ft.), measure the
signal differentially. Current output signals may be measured single-ended.
5.2 Use with Young Wind Tracker Display (86000 and 86004)
The factory default serial output format is RMYT, which is compatible wih the
YOUNG Model 06201Wind Tracker display. Set the Wind Tracker input to
‘INP 09’ and connect as shown in the wiring diagram (Figure A-5 – Appendix
A). Note that jumpers need to be moved so the RS-485 output is available at
the connection terminals. Wind speed and direction measurements appear on
the Wind Tracker display. See the Wind Tracker manual for display options
and other details.
5.4.1 RMYT
RMYT is a 6-byte binary data format sent at 9600 baud using RS-485
OUTPUT ONLY mode. This is the factory default serial format for use with
the YOUNG Model 06201 Wind Tracker.
