INSTALLATION
Installation of the weather station is relatively simple. The wind sensor and temperature
sensor are mounted outdoors with the wind sensor placed onto a mast and the
temperature sensor clamped onto a wall. The wind sensor has a mounting collar with
locking screws that allow it to be installed onto a 1" O.D. mast or pipe. If the sensor is to
be located on the roof of a building, the mast should be located on the upwind side. For
small structures, the mast should be one and one half times as high as the building upon
which it sits. If this is not practical such as is the case for extremely tall buildings, then the
mast should be at least thirty feet high above the roof. The nature of the vane requires that
it be aligned to North. Alignment marks are provided on the sensor housing. Refer to the
sensor manual for specific instructions. Route the wind sensor cable in the most direct
