Mount assembled outdoor sensor package
Install the sensor array in an open space, away from obstacles such as other
buildings, trees, etc. that prevent free wind flow, to ensure undistorted
measurements of individual weather elements. Point the part with the
vane and propeller north for correct wind direction measurement. Place
the sensor array onto the stand (not included) at a minimum height of 1.5
metres from the ground to prevent the measured values being affected by
the ground surface and tighten the bolts. Use the spirit level on the top of
the sensor array to ensure that it is level. Tighten the U-bolt nuts.

Note:
If you handle the sensor array when it is powered up and
transmitting, you can generate false wind reading as you move
and rain readings if to tip the array. Please remember to reset
your readings.
