2. Mount the wind speed and direction sensors onto the crossarm using the provided U-bolts (see Figure 6). The

cross-arm should be mounted to the tower such that the wind sensors are at a height of 11 feet, on the south side

of the tower with the direction sensor to the west and the speed sensor to the east. There is a reference mark on

the wind direction sensor that should face north when mounted correctly.

3. Secure the sensor cables to the mast using UV-tolerant plastic cable ties (supplied).

4. At a height of 3 feet , use the supplied U-bolt to mount the Temperature/RH sensor (pn. 21415), on the south side

of the tower/pole . The U-bolt is placed in the side holes of the radiation shield and then the nuts tightened.

5. Open the enclosure and retrieve the mounting U-bolts from the battery mounting bracket (wrapped in bubble

wrap). At a height of 4 feet, mount the enclosure to the tower/pole so that it’s facing NORTH.

6. If applicable, mount the solar panel to the mast using the provided U-bolts. The solar panel should be mounted 1

foot above the enclosure and facing SOUTH.
