direction indicates a 360-degree range. Windspeed or direction may be read off of the indicator dials or recorded using an
auxiliary recorder set. The recorder has a 0- to 240-knot or mph range. The support assembly and transmitter are
designed to function outdoors under almost all weather conditions. The indicator is used in a sheltered area.
