The wind transducer is supplied with the mounting plate fitted. The mounting
plate must be removed before installation.

counter-clockwise.
The thumb screw is captive, so it cannot be removed completely.
2. Pull the front of the mounting plate downwards.
3. Pull the mounting plate down and forwards to remove it completely from
the wind transducer.
7.4 Mounting the wind transducer
Procedure for mounting the wind transducer.
Pre-requisites:
• Ensure you have followed the location requirements guidance when
choosing your mounting location.
• The unit must be mounted on a horizontal surface. If the mounting surface
is not horizontal, create a wedge piece to make the surface horizontal.
• Ensure that the provided fixings are suitable for the mounting surface
material and thickness.
1. Route the mast cable from the top of the mast to the gateway’s intended
location.
When routing the cable through the mast, the protruding cable should
be fitted into the cable channel provided on the bottom of the mounting
plate.
2. Use either the mounting plate as a guide or use the supplied mounting
template to mark the hole locations on the mounting surface.
3. Drill 4 pilot holes at the marked locations.
Important:
Pilot hole sizes must be suitable for the material type and thickness of
the mounting surface (e.g.: a 4 mm (
5
⁄
32
in) drill bit should be used when
mounting on an aluminium surface).
4. Secure the mounting plate to the mounting surface using the fixings.
