Mounting the Wind Sensor onto a mast
64
Firstly, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate
freely before fixing the unit. For correct and accurate readings
it is important to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E)
is pointing in East-West direction. The wind sensor should
now be mounted using the screw provided onto a mast to
allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all
directions (ideal mast size should be from Ø16mm – Ø33mm).
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the
cable to the corresponding thermo-hygro sensor socket so
that operating power supply can be received and data can be
transmitted to the base station.

For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted
onto a horizontal surface about 1 meter above the ground and
in an open area away from trees or other coverings where
rainfall may be reduced causing inaccurate readings.
