Mounting The Weather Station; Specware Software - WatchDog 525 Operation Manual

Mounting The station
The weather station should be located in an open, unobstructed, grassy
area to ensure accurate measurement of wind, rainfall, sunlight, and
evapotranspiration.
Mounting hardware is provided to attach the weather station to a 4" x
4" treated wooden post or to a mast/pole up to 1.25 inches in diameter.
The mounting pole should be securely anchored perpendicular to the
ground.
If you are using the mounting tripod (item # 3396TP), open it and
place it where the weather station is to be located. The tripod feet can
also serve as mounting brackets if the unit is located on a solid
surface. Slide the 3' post through both center screw clamps, adjust the
height as desired and tighten the screws such that the post is
perpendicular to the ground. Finally, attach the weather station to the
post with the u-bolts.
