Tacktick wind speed not working.

[svstrider]

I have a T120 anaenometer and recently the wind speed cups are very slow to turn. This gives incorrect wind speed recordings. It seems to be a sealed unit. Is there any way to fix the problem, myself. The unit is 3 years old.

Seems like the bearing has gone.

I can't speak to the TAcktic unit specifically, but I have successfully revived several other anemometers by inverting them and spraying the shaft area with Inox or other VERY low viscosity lubricant. A bit of manual spinning in the inverted position then restores lubrecation to the tiny ball bearings inside and all is well for a while. Repeat as required.

Cheers,

Jim

Thanks Jim

I took your advice and brought down the anaenometer from the top of the mast. I discovered that unlike a previous defunct model I had replaced this 2010 model is able to be disassembled. There is a bleed hole in the bottom to let moisture out.

I was able to oil with lanoline and now it works again.
