NOTE:
-Any metal object can attract lightning strikes, including your sensor-array mounting pole. Never install
sensor-array in stormy days.
-If you want to install a sensor-array on a house or building, consult a licensed electrical engineer to ensure
proper grounding. Direct lightning impact on a metal pole can damage or destroy your home.
-Installing the sensor at high location may result in personal injury or death. Perform as many initial
inspections and operations as possible on the ground and in buildings or houses. Only install the sensor-
array on clear, dry days.
3.1.6 DIRECTION ALIGNMENT
Install the wireless 7-in-1 sensor in an open
location with no obstructions above and around the
sensor for accurate rain and wind measurement.
Locate the North (N) marker on top of the 7-in-1
sensor and align the marker to point North upon
final installation with a compass or GPS. Tighten the
mounting bracket around a 30 to 40 mm diameter
pole (not included) using two screw and nuts
provided.
Use the bubble level on the 7-in-1 sensor to make
sure the sensor is completely level for proper
measurement of rainfall, UV and light intensity.

for the user's convenience (e.g. users in the Southern hemisphere), it is possible to use the
sensor with the wind vane pointing to South.
1. Install the 7-IN-1 wireless sensor with its wind meter end pointing to South. (Please refer to
