THE
A
NEMOMETER
You may mount the anemometer on either side of the sensor arm. The pre-
ferred mounting location for the anemometer is on the end closest to the
mounting bracket. However, if you have an anemometer with a straight arm
and
a Rain Collector attached to the Sensor Mounting Arm, the Rain Collector
might create obstruction problems which result in inaccurate wind speed and
direction readings. In this case (and only in this case), you may want to mount
the anemometer on the end farthest from the mounting bracket.
In general, you should mount the anemometer below the sensor arm, following
the instructions in “Attaching the Anemometer Below the Sensor Arm (Pre-
ferred)” on page 6. If, however, you need to mount the anemometer arm on the
end farthest from the mounting bracket
and
you have a radiation shield
mounted on that side as well, attach the anemometer above the sensor arm, fol-
lowing the instructions in “Attaching the Anemometer Above the Radiation
Shield” on page 9.
