•
Use the hole at the top to hang your sensor from the back using a nail.
Or, insert one mounting screw through the front of your sensor.
•
Mount your sensor on a north-facing wall or in a shaded area. Under
an eave or deck rail is preferred to avoid inaccurate readings from the sun.
•
The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is up to 400 feet
(121 meters) in open air, not including walls or floors.
•
Be sure your sensor is mounted vertically, to allow moisture to drain
out properly.

Fence posts, poles, decks, and mailboxes are common mounting options due to their convenience.
Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provides is accurate from their ground
level. However, because the wind in these spots is often affected by obstructions, the readings may
differ when compared to local reporting stations.
•
Use the built-in Bubble Level to ensure the Cyclone Sensor
(especially the rain gauge) is mounted level.
•
Ensure the Solar Panel is facing to the South. This helps
optimize battery life and transmit correct wind direction data.
•
Ideally, the Cyclone Sensor should be mounted on the tallest
object in your area. Avoid positioning the sensor parallel
or below eaves, roof lines, trees, or other objects that may
obstruct wind and rain readings.
•
Make sure all the screws on the Mounting Bracket, Wind Cups,
Wind Vane, and Battery Compartment are securely fastened.
•
The Cyclone Sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups
on the top. See page
02
for wind cup installation information.

Bubble Level
Mount the Mast to a flat surface with the four
provided screws.
Check the integrated Bubble Level or use your own
across the Rain Funnel to ensure the sensor is level.
Place the Cyclone Pro Sensor on top of the Mast.
Ensure the Solar Panel is facing south.
Secure the Cyclone Sensor to the Mast by tightening
the screws on the side. After screws are tightened,
double check the sensor has remained level
through the installation process.
