Mounting takes place either to a mast or at the upper rim of a wall. It is important to
mount the device in such a way that the solar cell in the sensor housing is pointing
in a southerly direction. It is further important to mount the device in a zone not
prone to wind shadow, i.e. the wind must be allowed to travel freely about the
sensor from all directions.
Remove the transport protection from the sensor head and make sure that weather-
vane and wind wheel can move freely and easily. Put sensor head, holding tube
and mast/wall holder together and fix the components by use of the supplied screws.
For basic mounting the Wind Sensor must be pointing exactly in a southerly direction
(solar cell to the south) in order to provide an exact northerly reference point for the
evaluation electronics.
Note!
An exact southerly alignment of the sensor in respect of its solar cell is very
important since this alignment will provide the reference point for the Wind
Direction Sensor.
In order to obtain correct measuring values exact perpendicular mounting of
the sensor to the mast must be observed. Axial stress to weather-vane and
wind wheel should be avoided.
Remote Indoor Sensor
Mount the sensor to its desired location. Keep in mind that the sensor is not designed
to operate outdoors or in rooms prone to excessive humidity. Data of the Indoor
Sensor are generally displayed in the display section in the upper left part of the
LCD. After insertion of the batteries the sensor is immediately operable.
Remote Outdoor Sensor
The mounting of the sensor should take place anywhere to the west or north since
temperatures in meteorology usually are measured in the shadow. It can however
be mounted at any other location if desired. It simply must be observed that the
solar cell powering the sensor does have to point towards the light in any case. The
sensor must not be obstructed by any close impediments such as leaves or the like
since this will prevent the solar cell from efficiently powering the sensor. A thinkable
mounting location would e.g. be a spot beneath the roof extension.
The sensor is designed for wall or mast mounting, which can be performed in the
following way:
Either mount the wall holder of the sensor in an exact perpendicular position to a
wall by means of four screws or to a mast by use of the supplied mounting bracket.
Place the sensor into the wall holder and secure both parts by use of the supplied
screw. Ensure that the large protective hood lies on top and the solar cell is pointing
towards the light.
During darkness and periods of bad weather with a relative lack of sunlight an
internal battery system buffered by the solar cell will take care of the sensor's power
supply.
