MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS?

LTV-WSDTH03:
Place your wind sensor two times higher than any large object within 50 feet. Wind does not
pass through hard objects; they distort it. If your sensor is too close you will measure the air
turbulence and not the actual wind speed.
Place away from trees. Wind passing through trees moves slower than wind in open areas.
Mount your sensor in a vertical position with the wind cups on top.
The maximum transmission distance from your multi-sensor to your station, in the open air, is
400 feet (121.92 meters).
Use the included mounting bracket or your mounting pole (no more than 1-inch outer
diameter to fit). Secure the sensor with screws provided. Tighten the screws to snug (do not
over-tighten).
Solar panel must face South to provide correct Wind Direction.
