Important: Ensure all signals can be received and/or all cable distances meet with your requirements at the point of fixing particularly before you start drilling any mounting holes.

Wind sensor

Secure the main unit to the shaft of the mast holder using the single screw provided with the front of the sensor (marked E) facing in the East-West direction otherwise wind direction will not be accurate. Now fix the entire unit to a suitable mast using the U-bolt, washers and nuts found in this set.

Note: For best results mount the wind sensor onto a mast to allow the wind to freely travel from all directions to enable an accurate reading (ideal mast size should be from Ø 5/8” to 11/4”). Ensure that the cable of the wind sensor meets your distance requirements

Rain sensor

The rain sensor should be mounted horizontally about 2-3ft off from the ground (or higher) in an open area away from trees or other coverings to allow rain to fall naturally for an accurate reading.

Note: For best results ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain

Thermo-hygro Sensor

To wall mount the thermo-hygro sensor, fix the wall holder onto the desired wall (2 screws are supplied), plug the sensor firmly into the wall holder and then carefully replace the rain cover back over the thermo-hygro sensor.
