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 (10 meters)
high!
MOUNTING OPTIONS
The included mounting bracket is designed to screw
directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2”x4” or larger. The sensor
can also be mounted directly to 3/4” steel or PVC pipe (available at hardware
stores and home centers).
LEVEL INSTALLATION
Use the bubble level
on the top of the sensor to ensure level
installation for accurate wind and rain
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, clear erroneous data from the display unit by
pressing the “CLEAR TODAY” button, on the back of the display inside the
battery compartment. This button will clear data recorded since 12:00 am.
Basic Setup is Complete
The 5-in-1 sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. It may take a few
minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appear to
be functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.
