Installation of weather station and
connection of the drive mechanism
Position
Select an assembly site at the building where wind, rain and sun may be collected
by the sensors unobstructedly. Do not assemble any construction components
above the weather station from where water may drop on to the rain sensor after
it has stopped raining or snowing.
At least 60 cm of clearance must be left all around the weather station. This
facilitates correct wind speed measurement without eddies. The distance
concurrently prevents spray (raindrops hitting the device) or snow (snow
penetration) from impairing the measurement. It also does not allow birds to bite
it. Please ensure that the extended awning does not cast shade on the unit, and
that this is not protected from the wind.
Temperature measurements can also be affected by external influences such as
by warming or cooling of the building structure on which the sensor is mounted,
(sunlight, heating or cold water pipes).
There must be at least 60 cm of space below,
to the sides and in front of the weather station
left from other elements (structures,
construction parts, etc.).
The weather station must be mounted on a
vertical wall (or a pole).
