5-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground in an open area. Higher is better for wind measurement- the National Weather Service recommends 33 feet (10 meters) 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 stores and home centers).
LEVEL INSTALLATION Use the bubble level on the top of the sensor to ensure level installation for accurate wind and rain measurement.
SOLAR CELL INSTALLATION Install the sensor with the solar cell facing SOUTH. This ensures the cell receives as much sun as possible and orients wind direction.
5-in-1 Sensor Installation
1.Fasten mounting base (included) to a post or pole (not included) using the 4 longer screws included in the hardware bag.
2.Insert the mounting base into the hole on the bottom of the sensor.
3.Make sure the arrows on the top of the sensor are pointed in the proper direction and the bubble level is centered. The solar cell should be facing south to properly orient the wind direction.

ABOVE OR AROUND
(1.5 meters)
4.Fasten the sensor into the mounting base using the 2 shorter screws included in the hardware bag.
The 5-in-1 sensor is now ready to use.
