irrigation zones, for that microclimate. The following general rules will
help you determine the best location:
Mount in an open area, clear of all obstructions. The area
should be in direct sunlight, away from buildings, trees or other
objects, which may restrict wind movement or cast shadows.
Avoid locations that will generate reflective heat (buildings,
parking lots, roadways, etc.) Excessive heat generated from
these objects will cause distorted ET readings.
Locate in an area that will prevent the sensor assemblies from
becoming wet by the irrigating water.
Areas that should be avoided are:
1.
Large industrial heat sources
2.
Rooftops
3.
Steep slopes
4.
Sheltered hollows
5.
High vegetation
6.
Shaded areas
7.
Swamps
8.
Area where snow drifts occur
9.
Low places which hold standing water after rains
The following table lists the suggested measured heights and
exposure (distance to an obstruction) for each type of sensor.
