Where To Place The Weather Station; Sensor For Temperature, Relative Humidity And Air Pressure; Wind Speed Sensor; Rain Sensor - Prointegra Meteobot User Manual

2 Where to place the weather station?

The weather station should be placed at a location with GSM coverage by your mobile
operator.
In order to get correct measurements, it is important to place the station:
 On an even field and at a location, which is representative for the region;
 If there is another object nearby (e.g. tree, building, etc.), the station should be
installed at a distance at least 4 times longer than the height of the object. Example:
if there is a 5-meter-tall tree nearby, the station should be at least 20 meters away
from the tree.

2.1 Sensor for temperature, relative humidity and air pressure

 At a height 1,25 – 2 m above ground.
AWAY FROM:
 Object, emitting heat – e.g. rocks, concrete, asphalt, dark surfaces, roofs, chimneys,
air conditioners, air vents;
 Water bodies and other objects, which can artificially change the air humidity (e.g.
rivers, dams, lakes, etc.).

2.2 Wind speed sensor

 At a height minimum 2 m above ground;
 Above all other sensors.

2.3 Rain sensor

 At a height 1,10 – 1,90 m above ground;
 The upper opening of the sensor should be absolutely horizontal;
 IMPORTANT: There should be no water in the sensor, other than natural precipitation.
AWAY FROM:
 Sprayers;
 Rain-type irrigation systems;
 Roofs, tree leaves and other surfaces, from which water could get into the sensor.

2.4 Solar panel

 Should be facing South;
 At an angle 60⁰ relative to the ground. If you do not use the holder in the box, make
sure the angle is correct.
