3.2 Installing HMP155

Install HMP155 on a sensor arm approximately 2 … 4 m (7 … 13 ft) from the ground.

Do not perform installation or maintenance procedures when

there is a risk of thunderstorm or lightning activity in the area.

WARNING!

The radiation shield is important in protecting the sensor head from

rain and splashing water and must always be used.

CAUTION!

Vaisala recommends installing HMP155 with the sensor head facing up.
