Quick Links
The Sensor Tilting Bracket (STB) enables you to adjust the position of the solar
radiation sensor and/or the UV sensor to match the angle of the sun's rays.
Use the STB with the Energy EnviroMonitor™ to match the angle of the solar
radiation sensor to the angle of your solar panels. Use the STB with the Heath
EnviroMonitor™ for maximum temperature-humidity-sun-wind index and/or
UV readings. Do not use the STB when mounting the solar radiation sensor for
use with the GroWeather™. The GroWeather's ET calculations assume that the
solar radiation sensor is mounted horizontally.
