5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION HEIGHT
Mount the sensor at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 meters) off the ground, in an open area. Higher is better for wind
measurements - The National Weather Service recommends 33 feet high!
MOUNTING OPTIONS
The included mounting bracket it designed to screw
directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2x4 or larger. The sensor can
also be mounted directly to common 3/4” steel pipe (available at hardware
stores and home centers).
LEVEL INSTALLATION
Use the
bubble level (included on top of
sensor) to ensure level installation
for accurate wind measurement.
SOLAR CELL INSTALLATION
Install
the sensor with the
solar cell
facing SOUTH.
This ensures the cell
receives as much sun as possible
and orients wind direction.
5-in-1 Sensor Installation
1. Fasten mounting base (included)
to a post or pole (not included)
using the 4 longer screws
included in the hardware bag.
2. Insert the mounting base into
the hole on the bottom of the
sensor.
3. Make sure the arrows on the
top of the sensor are pointed
in the proper direction and the
bubble level is centered. The
solar cell should be facing south
to properly orient the wind
direction.
4. Fasten the sensor into the mounting base using the 2 shorter screws included
in the hardware bag.
The 5-in-1 sensor is now
ready to use.
Clear Data Collected During Installation
When installation is complete, press AND HOLD “CLEAR RECORD/RESET”
button, located on the back of the display inside the battery compartment, to
