5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION HEIGHT
Mount the sensor at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 meters) off the ground, in an open area. Higher is better for wind
measurements - The National Weather Service recommends 33 feet high!
MOUNTING OPTIONS
The included mounting bracket it designed to screw
directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2x4 or larger. The sensor can
stores and home centers).
LEVEL INSTALLATION
Use the bubble level
(included on top of sensor) to ensure level

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.
