STEP 3: Mounting Basics

At this time, all of your sensor information should be displayed on your station.

Here are a few quick tips for mounting your sensors:

THERMO-HYGRO

Keep out of direct sunlight & ensure the sensor is well-ventilated.

• We recommend mounting under a deck or eave facing north.

WIND SPEED

Ensure the sensor is mounted vertically – an unobstructed rooftop is ideal.

• Your wind sensor should be the tallest object in the area to avoid any obstructions.

RAIN

Mount in an open area, preferably o the ground on a level platform.

• Clean out the bucket regularly to avoid debris; this can aect readings.

For detailed sensor setup and mounting instructions, see page 18.
