4.1.1
Installing the SolarMagic Weather Station Enclosure
Mount the weather station enclosure out of direct sunlight in a
location where it will not be exposed to continuous water flow, snow
and ice build-up, and/or areas of extreme temperature. Install the
enclosure using the external enclosure mounting tabs.
The weather station enclosure may be mounted in a vertical (where the
door opens out) or a horizontal (where the door opens up) orientation.
Mount the weather station enclosure on the optionally supplied
base/mast or in its proximity.
CAUTION:
Drilling holes in the back plate is not recommended and will void the warranty.
For vertical installations, it is best to mount the enclosure directly to a
strut system, such as Uni-Strut. Both pieces of the strut system should
be at least 8" in length and be fastened to a stud bearing wall with (2)
1/4" lag bolts long enough to penetrate the stud at least 2.5". Fasten all
four corners of the enclosure to the strut with a 1/4"-20 X 3/4" bolt
(preferably stainless steal or galvanized), a 1/4" flat washer, and a 1/4"
channel nut.
4.1.2
Installing the optionally supplied Weather Sensors Mast
Mount the weather sensors on the frame using the provisions outlined
in the following sections. Secure the sensors to the frame with the set
screws using the supplied Allen wrench.
