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 pipe (available at hardware stores
and home centers).
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.
