3-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines

INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground, in an open area. Higher is better for wind measurements - the National Weather Service recommends 33 feet high!

MOUNTING OPTIONS The included mounting bracket is designed to screw directly onto wooden posts or surfaces that are 2”x4” or larger. The sensor can also be mounted directly to 3/4” steel or

PVC pipe (available at hardware Top MountSide Mount stores and home centers).

LEVEL INSTALLATION Use a bubble level (not included) to ensure level installation for accurate wind measurement.
