1. Select a pole (not included) on which to mount the sensors. The pole
should not be more that 0.75 inches in diameter.
2. Firmly place the bottom of the thermo-hygro sensor into the plastic
mounting bracket. Use a short bolt and nut to secure in place. Do not
over tighten.
3. Check the wind and rain cord are secured to the correct ports. Slide
the wind speed sensor and shower proof cover over the thermo-
hygro sensor. Careful, it will only go on if the insides slots are align
with the corner of the Thermo-Hygro sensor.
4. Attach the rain sensor to the plastic mounting bracket and secure
with a long set screw. Do not over tighten.
5. Attach the rain sensor mounting bracket to the pole with the included
U-bolts. Do not over tighten.
Note:
Attach the rain sensor lower than the wind/TH sensor so that
rain water does not follow the cord into the port of the TH sensor.
6. Attach the wind speed/thermo-hygro sensor mounting bracket to the
wooden pole with the included U-bolts. Do not over tighten.
Mount on a Flat Surface:
1. Firmly place the bottom of the thermo-hygro sensor into the plastic
mounting bracket. Use a short bolt and nut to secure in place. Do not
over tighten.
2. Check the wind and rain cord are secured to the correct ports. Slide
the wind speed sensor and shower proof cover over the thermo-
hygro sensor.
3. Place two screws through the plastic mounting bracket to secure to a
flat surface. Do not over tighten.
4. Place two screws through the rain gauge to secure to a flat surface.
Do not over tighten the screws. Use the bubble level on the top of
the rain sensor to be sure it is level.
Note:
The plastic mounting bracket is not used for the rain sensor
when mounting on a flat surface.
Placement:
1. Place the sensors in an open area at least 6 feet above ground.
2. Avoid obstructions that will block wind and rain. Allow a 50 foot
clearance or more from tall buildings, trees etc. When the sensors
are installed next to a tall building, the wind and rain will not be
accurate.
