2.2. Location
Select an assembly location at the building where wind speed may be collected by the
sensor unobstructedly.
At least 60 cm of free space must be left beneath the device to
enable correct wind measurement and prevent snowing in when there is snow. The
distance also protects the unit against damage by birds.
2.3. Mounting the sensor
2.3.1. Attaching the mount
The sensor comes with a combination wall/pole mount. The mount comes adhered by
adhesive strips to the rear side of the housing.
Fasten the mount vertically onto the wall or pole.
