Installation Options
There are several ways to mount and install the sensor suite unit. The following
installations are recommended. Individual sensor suite locations and installations
may vary.
• Installing the sensor suite and anemometer on a post or flat surface
• Installing the sensor suite and anemometer on a pole, together or
separately
Note: All installations require that the rain collector cone be removed for assembly.
Important: Use the built-in bubble level to ensure the main part of the sensor suite
is level.

Tip:
anemometer and sensor suite have been installed on a site. You can secure the cable to the pole using
the shorter cable ties. Use the longer cable tie to secure the coil by running it through the holes on the
rain collector shelf. Keep the anemometer cable coiled if possible during the sensor suite and
anemometer assembly so that it is easily stowed once installation is complete.
