4.2 Assembling the Weather Station

4.2.1 Choosing a Location

Try to position your Weather Station as follows:
1. Mount the tripod on a level surface, so that the center pole is
vertical.
2. Install in a location where wind flow is unobstructed by trees and
nearby buildings
3. Try to avoid possible obstructions from rainfall
4. If you install the Weather Station on a roof, the anemometer (wind
sensor) must be at least 1.2 m above the roofline for accurate wind
measurements
5. The Solar Radiation Shield works best in a location where there is a
steady breeze.
6. Do not install over or near water sprinklers. The Solar Radiation
Shield is not designed to protect the sensor from water sprayed
upwards.
7. Avoid placing near any space that can heat up a lot during the day.
8. The solar panel works best when the surface of the panel receives
full sunlight. Mount the Weather Station away from fences,
buildings, trees or any other obstructions that may cast shadows
over the panel.
9. The solar panel should be mounted facing south in the Northern
Hemisphere and north in the Southern Hemisphere.
