Page 12: Assemble The Ws69
4.2 Assemble the WS69 4.2.1 Install U-bolts and metal plate Installation of the U-bolts, which are in turn used to mount the sensor package on a pole, requires installation of an included metal plate to receive the U-bolt ends. The metal plate, visible in Figure 5 on the right side, has four holes through which the ends of the two U-Bolts will fit. - Page 13 Figure 6 U-Bolts and nuts installed The plate and U-Bolts are not yet needed at this stage but doing this now may help avoid damaging wind vane and wind speed cups later on. Handling of the sensor package with wind vane and speed cups installed to install these bolts is more difficult and more likely to lead to damage.
- Page 14 Figure 7 Wind vane installation diagram Install wind speed cups Push the wind speed cup assembly onto the shaft on the opposite side of the wind vane, as shown in Figure 8. on the left side. Tighten the set screw, with a Philips screwdriver (size PH0), as shown on the right side.

Page 19: Vertical Confirmation
4.7.1 Vertical confirmation 1. Ensure the Mounting Pipe is Vertical Make sure the mounting pipe is vertical, or very close to it. Use a level if needed. 2. Place the Sensor Package on the Mounting Pipe Place the sensor package on top of the prepared mounting pipe. The U-Bolts should be loose enough to allow this, but loosen the nuts as necessary. -

overtighten, but ensure that strong wind and/or rain cannot move the sensor package. 4.7.2 Orientation to WEST &Note for Northern and Southern Hemispheres Note: The orientation to WEST is necessary for two reasons. The most important one is to position the solar panel and light sensor in the most advantageous position for recording solar radiation and charging internal capacitors. -

Now look at the bubble level. The bubble should be fully inside the red circle. If it is not, wind direction, speed, and rain readings may not operate correctly or accurately. Adjust the mounting pipe as necessary. If the bubble is close, but not quite inside the circle, and you cannot adjust the mounting pipe, you may have to experiment with small wooden or heavy cardboard shims between the sensor package and the top of the mounting pole to achieve the desired result (this will require loosening... -
