✦
The Solar Radiation Shield works best when in a location with a steady breeze.
Mount away from fences, buildings, trees, or other obstructions.
✦
Install over plants or soil if possible.
✦
Do not install over or near sprinklers. The Solar Radiation Shield is not designed
to protect the sensor from water sprayed upwards.
✦
If attaching to a building, the preferred location would be on the north side in the
Northern Hemisphere and on the south side in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Solar Radiation Shield may be mounted in three basic orientations: on the
side of a wooden post or a wall, on a metal pipe with outside diameter between
1” and 1 1/4” (25 mm and 31 mm), or on top of a wood post. Each of these con-
figurations is pictured below. You should determine ahead of time which orien-
tation best suits your purpose because the installation instructions differ
slightly depending on how you plan to finally mount the Solar Radiation
Shield.
