Installation
Proper siting for weather sensors is
important to ensure accurate readings. For example, wind sensors should not be
installed too close to a building, as turbulence created by the building can
interfere with readings. The Solar Radiation sensor should be installed in
direct sunlight on a level surface (bubble level and leveling screws included
with purchase).
Purchase of both the Wind Direction and Wind Speed sensors includes a
T-mounting bar with a 1" stainless steel coupling unit and allen wrench for
easy allen set screw instalation. Individual wind sensors or solar
radiation sensors include 1" stainless steel elbow couplers and an allen
wrench. For use with the Temperature and Humidity sensors, the Solar
Shield (with a stainless steel elbow coupler) for protection and easy
installation is available. The Barometric Pressure sensor is inside a
smallblack case that can be mounted (with straps) for a variety of applications
(including inside a datalogger, or to a display for hand-held use).
