WIND/THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR

Positioning the wind/thermohygro sensor:

Place the Wind/Thermohygro sensor as high as you can install it. Generally, 6 ft. above the peak of the roof (or more) is required for accurate readings. Since this sensor requires batteries to provide power, you may need it more accessible then a traditional roof mount would allow.

∙Cups should be below the directional vane.

∙NOTE: You will need to change batteries occasionally.

∙The Wind/Thermohygro sensor should be within 246 ft. (75 meters, open air) from the wireless display. Reduce distance by half for every obstruction between the sensor and the wireless display.

∙AVOID: Mounting the sensor on transmitting antennas, or using PVC pipe (unless electrical grade) to avoid interference.

∙The best location for the anemometer is on a mast in an open area on top and sides for 50 feet, or above roof level on the building where the monitor is located.

∙Ensure that all of the sensors data is received at the intended mounting locations before mounting holes are drilled.

NOTE:Be sure not to overtighten bolts to mast, as they may crack the mastholder. Masts should not be more than 1 1/4 inchs in diameter to avoid blocking wind.

Ground Mount: Place at least 6 feet up on a pole in an open area. Higher is better. The wind/thermohygro sensor should be the highest item in the immediate area. An ideal location to mount the wind/thermohygro sensor is away from all obstacles that will block wind activity, such as trees and houses. A 50 –foot clearance in all directions is best.

NOTE: The international standard height for wind measurement devices is 10 meters (33 feet) aboveground, with no obstructions at or above this level. Your local reporting station is likely using this level for measurements.

Roof Mount: In most cases, at least 6 ft above the peak of the roof (or more) is required for accurate readings. (Avoid tall trees or other obstructions that may block or reflect the wind). A 50 –foot clearance in all directions is best. For more information on wind speed and obstructions, check this site: http://www.motiva.fi/myllarin_tuulivoima/windpower%20web/en/tour/wres/obst.htm.

MOUNT: To mount the wind/thermohygro sensor, you need a mast (not supplied) about 1 – 1.25 inches (2.54 – 3.1 cm) in diameter, and the hardware necessary to fasten it to the mounting location.

∙If necessary, mount and ground the mast as directed in the instructions provided by the mast.

∙Place the supplied U-shape metal plates around the mast. Insert 4 of the supplied Hex screws through the holes of the U-shape plates and the holes on the anemometer’s mounting bracket.

∙The wind vane should be above the wind cups and the metal bar of the anemometer is level

∙Tighten the supplied Hex nut onto both ends of each screw
