Page 17: Installation
Wind Monitor Series Installation Siting Locate wind sensors away from obstructions such as trees or buildings. Generally, there should be a horizontal distance of at least ten times the height of the obstruction between the Wind Monitor and the obstruction. If the sensors need to be mounted on a roof, the height of the sensors above the roof, should be at least 1.5 times the height of the building. -
