Make sure the mounting tube for the sensor package is installed vertically
(use a level at 90-degree offsets around the tube). Adjust the mounting pipe
as necessary. Next also make sure the mounting of the anemometer body on
the pipe is level. If it is not, wind direction and speed readings may not
operate correctly or accurately. Adjust the mounting assembly as necessary.
Make sure you check, and correct if necessary, the north orientation again,
as the final installation step, and now tighten the bolts with a wrench. Do not
over tighten, but make sure strong wind and/or rain cannot move the sensor
package.

Reset Button and Transmitter LED
In the event the sensor package is not transmitting, reset the sensor.
Using a bent-open paperclip, press and hold the RESET BUTTON (item 12)
to affect a reset: the LED turns on while the RESET button is depressed, and
you can now let go. The LED should then resume as normal, flashing
approximately once every 4.75 seconds.
