WS-5000: Wind Speed And Wind Gust Incorrectly Reads 89.9 Mph

If the Ultrasonic wind speed reads 89.9 mph all of the time, or spikes to 89.9 mph when the windspeed is low, there is likely debris inside the wind speed measuring area.
To resolve this issue, blow compressed area in the measurement volume (#1 in the image below), and clean with a damp cloth, to remove all debris, spider webs and other insect debris.
