Step 2: Adjust the vertical angle of the solar panel (0°,
15°, 30°, 45°, 60°) according to the latitude of your
location.
Step 3: Push the gear and tighten the screw until the
gears are securely locked.
3.1.4 INSTALL MOUNTING POLE
1. Stick the 2 rubber pads (provided) onto the inner sides of the mounting part
2. Insert the 2 screws into the sensor array mounting base and hand tighten the screws
3. Place the sensor array over the mounting pole and align the sensor array to North direction
4. Tighten the screws to fit the size of your mounting pole
Add rubber pad
before mounting
on pole
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. Adjust the vertical angle of the solar cell to get the most optimal usage out of the solar cell
depending on your location.
4. Push the gear inward and tighten the screw until the gears lock in place.
The joint of the solar cell is labeled with different degrees (0, 15, 30 45, and 60). To place the solar cell
in the right position for your location, set the solar cell to the angle that is closest to your latitude. View
chart below to get an idea how you should angle your solar cell.
NOTE: The weather station cannot tell you what the latitude of your location is. You will have to
research your latitude before you can properly adjust the solar cell.
