WIND
Positioning the Breeze Pro Sensor
For Accurate Measurements
• Ensure the sensor is mounted level with the Solar Panel facing
directly to the south. This will help optimize battery life and transmit
correct wind direction readings.
• Ideally, the Breeze Pro Sensor should be mounted on the tallest
object in your area. Avoid positioning the sensor in line or below
eaves, rooflines, trees, or other objects that may obstruct wind
readings.
• Make sure all screws on the Mounting Bracket, Winds Cups,
Wind Vane, and Battery Compartment are securely fastened.
• The sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups on top.
Included Mounting Accessories
Mast
The horizontal conduit where the sensor
attaches. This piece will connect to either
the Adjustable Base or Pole Adapter.
Adjustable Base
The main bracket used for mounting onto flat surfaces or with
added U-bolts (not included). The grooves and Hand Screw allow
the bracket to secure to angled surfaces while still ensuring the
Mast and sensor are level.
Hand Screw
Used to lock down and secure the Mast
to the Adjustable Base or Pole Adapter.
Alignment Arrows
Provide exact 90 or 180 degree
angles when aligned with the arrow
on the Mast.
Pole Adapter
Used in place of the Adjustable Base
for mounting on top of cylindrical
conduits.

Installation Options
Basic Assembly
Fence posts, poles, decks, and even mailboxes are all common mounting options due to their convenience.
Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provide is accurate from their ground level
perspective. However, because wind in these spots is often affected by obstructions, the readings may
differ compared to local reporting stations.
For Accurate Measurements
1A. Mount the Adjustable Base onto a flat surface
using the four long screws provided.
1B. Secure the Pole Adapter to a cylindrical
conduit using the two smaller screws provided.
2. Insert the Mast into the Breeze Pro Sensor and
tighten the provided screws on the sides.
3. Use the Hand Screw to attach the Mast to either the Adjustable
Base or Pole Adapter. Ensure the sensor is level, facing south,
and securely fastened at all mounting points.

Advanced Installation Options
Some advanced installation options include tripods, wall mounts, eave cross mounts, chimney mounts,
and many others. Any of these can be combined with U-bolts for attachment onto a tall cylindrical conduit
using our Adjustable Base. Please note that these advanced options will require additional equipment and
possibly professional help for best results.
