Wind; Positioning Your Sensor - La Crosse Technology V50AU Setup Manual

WIND

Positioning the Breeze Pro Sensor
Included Mounting Accessories
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.
For Accurate Measurements
• Ensure the sensor is mounted level with the Solar Panel facing
directly to the north. 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 with 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.
