5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines 

INSTALLATION HEIGHT 

Mount the sensor at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the 

ground (higher is better for wind measurement) in an open area. Secure to 

fence post, 2”x 4” wood, 3/4” pole, etc. (not included)

 

LEVEL INSTALLATION 

Use the bubble level (included on top of sensor) to ensure 

level installation for accurate wind measurement.

 

SOLAR CELL INSTALLATION 

Install the sensor with the 

solar cell facing SOUTH. 

This ensures the cell receives as much sun as possible and orients wind 

direction. 

5-in-1 Sensor Installation 

1. Fasten mounting base 

(included) to a post or pole 

(not included) using the 4 

longer screws included in the 

hardware bag. 

2. Insert the mounting base into 

the hole on the bottom of the 

sensor. 

3. Make sure the arrows on the 

top of the sensor are pointed 

in the proper direction and 

the bubble level is centered. 

The solar cell should be facing 

south to properly orient the 

wind direction. 

4. Fasten the sensor into the 

mounting base using the 2 

shorter screws included in the 

hardware bag. 

The 5-in-1 sensor is now 

ready to use. 

Clear Data Collected During Installation 

When installation is complete, clear erroneous data from the display unit by 

pressing the “CLEAR TODAY” button, on the back of the display inside the 

battery compartment. This button will clear data recorded since 12:00 am.

 

Basic Setup is Complete 

The 5-in-1 sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. It may take a few 

minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appear to 

be functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.
