The Sensor Tilting Bracket (STB) enables you to adjust the position of the solar 
radiation sensor and/or the UV sensor to match the angle of the sun’s rays. 
Use the STB with the Energy EnviroMonitor™ to match the angle of the solar 
radiation sensor to the angle of your solar panels. Use the STB with the Heath 
EnviroMonitor™ for maximum temperature-humidity-sun-wind index and/or 
UV readings. Do not use the STB when mounting the solar radiation sensor for 
use with the GroWeather™. The GroWeather’s ET calculations assume that the 
solar radiation sensor is mounted horizontally.
