Sensor Placement & Mounting
For Accurate Thermo-Hygro Sensor Measurements
•
Insert a mounting screw through the hole at the top to securely mount
the sensor. It can also hang from the back using a nail.
•
Mount the sensor vertically in a protected well-shaded area. Keeping
it out of direct weather elements such as sunlight, rain, snow, etc. will
help avoid inaccurate readings.
•
For additional protection against weather elements, a Sensor Weather
Shield:

•
The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is up to 330ft
(100m) in open air. This does not include walls, floors, or other large
obstructions.

For Accurate Cyclone Sensor Measurements
•
Use the built-in Bubble Level to ensure the Cyclone Sensor
(especially the rain gauge) is mounted level.
•
Ensure the Solar Panel is facing to the North. This helps
optimize battery life and transmit correct wind direction data.
•
Ideally, the Cyclone Sensor should be mounted on the tallest
object in your area. Avoid positioning the sensor parallel
or below eaves, roof lines, trees, or other objects that may
obstruct wind and rain readings.
•
Make sure all the screws on the Mounting Bracket, Wind Cups,
Bubble
Wind Vane, and Battery Compartment are securely fastened.

Cyclone Sensor Mounting
Basic Installation
Fence posts, poles, decks, and mailboxes are common mounting options due to their convenience.
Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provides is accurate from their ground
level. However, because the wind in these spots is often affected by obstructions, the readings may
differ when compared to local reporting stations.
1.
Mount the Mast to a flat surface with the four
provided screws.
3.
Check the integrated Bubble Level or use your own
across the Rain Funnel to ensure the sensor is level.
2.
Place the Cyclone Pro Sensor on top of the Mast.
Ensure the Solar Panel is facing north.
4.
Secure the Cyclone Sensor to the Mast by tightening
the screws on the side. After screws are tightened,
double check the sensor has remained level
through the installation process.
