Installing the Orion Sensor Transmitter
Site Selection
Finding a suitable site for the sensor transmitter is important for getting
representative ambient measurements. The site should represent the
general area of interest.
The sensor transmitter should be installed in a location that is free from
turbulence caused by nearby objects, such as trees or buildings.
WARNING
: To protect personnel (and the device), a lightning rod should
be installed with the tip at least 40 inches (one meter) above the sensor
transmitter. The rod must be properly grounded, compliant with all local
applicable safety regulations.
Installing the Mounting Adapter
1. Insert the mounting adapter
in the transmitter bottom side as
shown in the diagram above.
2. Turn the adapter firmly until you feel that it has snapped into the
locked position.
3. Align the transmitter in such a way that the arrow (at the bottom of
the transmitter) points to north (see North Alignment).
4. Tighten the fixing screw
to fix the adapter firmly to the mast.
