the surroundings designated for it.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may occur
after publication of these operating instructions.
2.2. Installation location
Select an installation position on the building where the sensors can measure wind
and sunshine without hindrance. The weather station should not be shaded by struc-
tures or, for example, trees.
At least 60 cm of clearance must be left around the device. This facilitates correct wind
speed measurement without eddies. At the same time, this prevents spray (raindrops
hitting the device) or snow (snow penetration) from impairing the measurement. This
also prevents birds from biting it.
Please ensure that the extended awning does not cast shade on the unit, and that it is
protected from the wind.
