NOTE:
When installing the unit, handle with lint free gloves and degrease the unit to reduce the
build-up of deposits.
Mounting procedure:
1. If using the mounting pipe kit, thread the connector end of the cable through the tubing;
start at the end without the three threaded holes.
2. Attach the cable connector to the mating connector located on the bottom of the sensor.
3. Use the three pan screws to secure the sensor to the tubing or mounting stand.
4. If applicable, mount the crossarm to the tripod or tower.
5. If using the pipe kit, mount the tubing to the crossarm with the CM220 Right Angle
Mounting bracket, U-bolts, and nuts. If using the stand mount, secure the mounting stand
to the pole or crossarm with the plate, carriage screws, washers, lock washers, and wing
nuts.
6. If measuring wind direction, ensure that the four notches on the sensor are aligned to the
magnetic north (see
or
www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/declination.shtml
).
7. If using the MetSENS600, level the rain sensor both horizontally and vertically level by using
a torpedo level.
8. Route the cable down the crossarm and tripod or pole to the instrument enclosure.
9. Secure the cable to the crossarm and tripod or pole by using cable ties.
