DURING INSTALLATION OF THE VARIOUS SENSORS!!!
The wind direction and speed sensor is normally mounted on television type antenna masts. For best results the wind · ·
sensor should be mounted twenty feet above the roof of the building. The higher the installation, the more accurate the readings. The wind direction sensor is calibrated at the factory and should be installed with the wind sensor arm pointed to the North. If you are unable to point the wind sensor arm to the North you can change the wind direction offset in the OneSix server INI file. Plug the wind sensor RJ11 connector into the mast mounted junction box (if present).
The TWI Lightning Sensor must be mounted at the top of a grounded mast. The taller the mast and the better the earth grounding the further away lightning can be detected. A detection range of over 200 miles can be achieved depending on the installation.
Mount the Lighting Sensor one inch below and 180 degrees away from the wind sensor (refer to figure A) in order to gain the maximum distance between the two sensors. The top of the Lightning sensor must not be below any part of the grounded mast, doing so will shield the sensor from detecting lightning from that direction
The outside temperature/humidity pagoda should be mounted about two feet under the wind sensor. Again we suggest a
in the junction box.
