IV.
Installing the 4-20mA Weather Station
a.
Please refer to Appendix A prior to installing the 4-20mA Weather
Station to review any optional sensor’s mounting instructions that may
modify the standard setup.
b.
Each sensor comes equipped with mounting hardware for a 1”
diameter pipe.
c.
The 4-20mA Weather Station stand consists of a 1” diameter stainless
steel cross bar with a T fitting and the mast (two 1” diameter tubes
connected together with a pvc insert). The top piece of the mast has a
T fitting with a 1” stub attached also.
d.
Insert the bottom of the mast into a solid base and secure it. Global
Water sells a Tripod for this purpose, WE830.
e.
Slide the top of the mast onto the pvc insert to complete the mast.
f.
Mount the cross bar to the top of the mast using the attached T fitting.
Tighten the set screw with the enclosed allen wrench. Ensure that the
cross bar is level. NOTE: For best results the cross bar should be at
least 8’ above the ground or roof.
g.
The Wind Speed and Wind Direction sensors should be mounted on
the opposite ends of the cross bar. Loosen the set screw holding the
Wind Direction sensor in the elbow. Line up the notches on the Wind
Direction Sensor, turn the sensor until the notches face north, and
secure the sensor.
h.
The Temperature Sensor and Humidity Sensor are pressure fitted
inside the Solar Shield. The Solar Shield has a 1” elbow that mounts
on the stub attached to the top portion of the mast. Place the elbow
on the stub and secure with the set screw.
i.
If the mast is in an area of extreme wind it may be necessary to secure
the 4-20mA Weather Station with guy wires (not included).
