Cable Preparation for Vertical Mounting
1. Run the cable that is already fastened to the wind
sensor through the vertical joining section (see
right).
2. Run the cable through the extension pole but do not
secure the pole to any sections yet.
3. Now run the cable through the top of the base-
bracket and then through the small rectangular
section found on one side of the base-bracket.
NOTE: Make sure that you completely pull the cable
through the wind sensors extension pole and base-
bracket to reduce the amount of slack on the cord.
Vertical Mount
1. Make sure that the wind vane can rotate freely
before fastening the unit permanently into position.
2. Insert one end of the extension pole provided into
the base-bracket.
3. Secure the connection point of the extension pole
and base-bracket using the 0.25” metal screws
provided to prevent rotation at the joining point.
(Use 4 x 0.25” screws to ensure stability).
4. Insert the vertical joining section on the bottom of the wind sensor into the top of the
extension pole. (Ensure that you pull all cable slack through the side of the base-bracket
to prevent creasing or cutting the cable).
5. Secure the wind sensor to the extension pole using the 0.25” screws provided to make
sure that the pole connection does not rotate. (Use 4 x 2.75” screws to ensure stability).
IMPORTANT:
For accurate readings, it is important to mount the wind sensor so that the

NOTE:
Make sure that when you are securing the base bracket with the 2.75” screws, you
are aware of the cable. Prevent driving a screw through the cable!
NOTE:
For proper wind speed measurement ensure the vertical joining section is at 90º the
horizon
(Fig.A).
Horizontal Mounting
Cable Preparation for Horizontal Mounting
1. Run the cable that is already fastened to the wind sensor through the horizontal joining
section (see below).
2. Run the cable through the extension pole but do not secure the pole to any sections yet.
3. Now run the cable through the top of the base-bracket and then through the small
rectangular section found on one side of the base-bracket.
NOTE:
Make sure that you completely pull the cable through the wind sensor’s extension pole
and base-bracket to reduce the amount of slack on the cord.
Horizontal mount - using a mast/antenna/pole
NOTE:
It is not recommended to secure the wind sensor horizontally from a wall or chimney
