WeatherNode Installation Guide

Professional Installation Only

WeatherNode weather monitoring nodes require professional installation. This

product cannot be purchased by the general public, the intended use is specific

to utility companies. Proper installation requires the units to be placed on utility

poles or transmission towers in proximity to live, unprotected electrical lines.

Only properly trained personnel, using proper equipment should attempt to

install or service monitoring nodes.

WeatherNode weather monitoring nodes are designed to be mounted directly

to a pole.

1) Unbox the unit.

2) Plan the mounting and installation to allow the node to be oriented towards

the south with minimal shading. Attach the provided mount to a pole using

the included hardware. See picture below.

3) Nodes are shipped with antennas attached. Each antenna is torqued and

secured in place with Loctite, then sealed to prevent moisture intrusion prior

to shipment. Attempts to remove supplied antennas or substitute other

antennas will void the warranty, likely damage the unit and produce

undesired performance.

4) Attach the node to the mounting bracket.

5) Upon detection of a strong light source or full sunlight, the node will wake

up and signal its operational status with two beeps.

6) The node will automatically seek out other nodes and start reporting.
