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).
